Avoid warm/hot water: Dry skin in infants can be due to washing too frequently in hot or very warm water, or inadequate liquid intake (very dry climates call for more liquids) or a skin condition such as eczema or psoriasis. Since the dry skin is itchy, it is worth having a DR look at it to determine if there is an infection or other skin problem. continue the application of emollient creams and lotions.
