hello,

welcome to healthcare magic.

i will be glad to be of assistance.

it will best to apply pimecrolimus cream twice a day on the affected areas. it will be effective.

most likely your son has a condition called atopic dermatitis, which causes the skin to get red, itchy and dry.

oilatum bath and the alfacort cream can also be continued.

i am sorry but i cant recommend a dermatologist in doha.

regards.

please let me know your queries.
