Round,dry patch: This lesion is usually round, elevated at the edges with a dry patch in the center. It can be found on the arms, legs or trunk. But for a 8 month old also consider ezema which is a skin condition associated with dry skin or allergy to products especially if there is a family history of asthma. The cream to use is a combination of an anti fungal cream and Hydrocortisone cream.
