Brief Answer:
Eczema skin.. Take treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
I have seen the attached picture.
Your son seems to have developed a patch of dry eczema.
I would like to know since when he has this skin patch.
Any associated itching or discomfort?
In most cases.. application of a topical steroid cream like cortisone cream over the affected area twice daily for five to seven days helps.
Apply plenty of moisturising lotions over it.
