What Causes Persistent Rashes With Dry Skin?

My baby developed a rash on his cheeks at 4months. He has been given topical treatment since and it has not improved. It went away for a week when we went to a place with a more humid temperature then came back to the dry weather and it got came back and was even infected. Took antibiotics which cleared it up but after the 10th day of antibiotics is returned. Starts off as rosy cheeks, becomes red bumps, dry skin, cracks, yellow crust...just a few of the symptoms. Rash is nowhere else on the body. Could it be more than eczema?

Your kid concern may be atopic dermatitis by your description. It is a type of eczema. Start using good oat meal containing moistuirser thrice daily and use only baby soap for body wash.

Also, use hydrocorticosone cream on affected areas. Meanwhile, report this to a dermatologist nearby you for physical examination. This will help her.
