The doctor is most likely correct.  However if you worry the doctor may be wrong I would seek a second opinion or go to a dermatologist (skin doctor).

If you go with this doctor diagnosis, follow his treatment plan to the letter.  If it does not work, get another appointment.

I would think the doctor knows best but wouldn't hurt to get second opinion but you think the doctor would of took blood work, she could have allergies too .

Try Polysporin Triple. It's an antibiotic so will not harm the Child. I use it on the occasional Cold Sore, which is a form of Herpes, and it works very well.
