Hi.
First of all remove the plaster.
The skin of children is very tender.
Never use antiseptic solutions on suspected atopic dermatitis area, it can enhance the allergy.
Consult a Pediatrician / Dermatologist for the proper treatment with the right dosage of antihistamines and steroids(if need arise)
Give vit A and D as per your Doctor's suggested dosages and multivitamins.
This condition usually settles well and can go away on its own with advancing age.
