Thank you Patti

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...this could be an eczema or a pyoderma (skin and subcutaneous tissue infection) starting. I suggest you see a dermatologist or upload images here. Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.
