Hi Thanks for your query According to your history, looks like your son is having atopic eczema. Atopic dermatitis is an inflammatory skin disorder affecting the body of mostly young infants and children. The main problem is that of an excessive dry skin which leads to development of this eczematous skin condition. Typically, atopic dermatitis presents with scaly, flaky, itchy, and red skin. It particularly affects the folds and face although it can spread to rest of the body. Now what yo need to do is proper moisturization of the skin with good moisturizers and application of oil over the body atleast once a day. In addition, you might have to apply a mild topical steroid cream, something like desonide over the affected areas once a day only. Wear cotton clothes Hope it helps Dr Geetika Paul
