[NP-Clinical] Cat Scratch

[Patricia.Thompson at hattiesburgclinic.com]

Hello Everyone,
     I had a 2 year old come in with papules around the lower lip.  Her mother stated she had been kissing a cat and playing with the cat.  Two weeks ago she had 2-4 bumps and they went away.  Then a week later several bumps appeared and the mother is using caladryl lotion on it  Presentation today several papules closed with 1-3 papules with scabs over them.  I instructed her to use Bactroban ointment x 1 week, keep hand clean and dry and out of her mouth.  Dx contact dermatitis.  Would anyone suggest any thing else?
