My 2 months old baby seems to have dry skin in his cheek and chin and it appears to be in patches, circle shape. 1 on his left cheek and 2 smaller, circle shape on his right cheek. Could it be eczema? And it seems that his skin tone has discolouration. I m concerned that it will permanent. If it is eczema, is it normal to have discoloured skin?
Hi... by what you say I feel that your baby may be having and Eczema. But skin conditions are best diagnosed and treated after seeing them directly. I suggest you upload images on this website and get back to us so that we can guide you better. If it is eczema, I sympathize with the kid and understand your concern. The trick of the management is keeping the skin moist and never allowing it to be Chat Doctor.  For this oil massage and lotions like Hiatus will help. Regarding cure options - eczema is a sort of allergy...allergies can only be controlled and can never be cured. But usually kids grow out of it...that is as the age progresses, they become better starting from 6 months. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health. Regards -
