My 17 month old has red dry patches on her chick,m how can i help her?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin care/PCP: She may have a form of eczema. Many infants develop eczema which resolves by the age of 3 years, while others develop other signs of allergies. Family history is an important factor in the development of the eczema. Use a gentle baby eczema lotion several times a day, avoid fragranced products and a low dose of topical steroid twice daily may be applied to clean skin for one to two weeks/follow
