Brief Answer: Apply moisurizing lotion.Clinical examination Detailed Answer: Hi, Thank you for getting back. I went through the pictures you attached along with this query. The skin lesions look like a local dry skin condition such as icthyosis. But as it is in crease area, eczema has to be ruled out by clinical examination by the pediatrician. For baby's dry skin, I suggest you to apply a moisturizer lotion twice or thrice daily. Apply the moisturizing lotion immediately after bathing to maintain skin hydration and protect the child skin from cold weather. And consult the pediatrician for direct clinical examination to diagnose the skin condition accurately and to prescribe definitive medication. Hope I have answered your query, if you have any clarification please let me know. Regards.
