My 3 month old daughter has incredibly dry skin.. should i go to her pediatrician first or straight to the dermatologist?

Start with peds: Pediatricians see and handle more kid related skin issues than many dermatologists see in their usual practice. When I get stumped or treatment trials go nowhere I send them on to a derm or pediatric dermatologist (we have them).
