Suggest Treatment For Dry Skin In Baby

Hi, My baby is three months old and she has developed a nasty dry skin at her both the legs before the skin at her knee was reddish in colour and hard, Then I consulted with the pedratician, He subscribed a moisturizer lotion. After applying the lotion the dark red colour did vanish and the skin too become soft but know the skin have scaly and there is some sort of secretion from skin of the leg and my baby keeps on scratching. So I don t know wether the lotion is working or not could u pls enlighten me on this matter.

Hi,

In my opinion you should returno to your pediatrician and ask for another medication. Try to see if this dry skin will appear in his face and elbows, because it could indicate a skin allergy.
