Brief Answer:
Looks like eczema

Detailed Answer:
Hi... I sympathize with the kid and understand your concern.
This is eczema or atopic dermatitis very common in this age group and no specific cause can be attributed to this.
I am sorry to say that the symptoms can be recurrent and persistent please.
The trick of the management is keeping the skin moist and never allowing it to be dry. For this oil massage and lotions like Atogla will help.
You can use the mildest soap available and I usually advice Tedybar soap and Spoo shampoo.
Regarding cure options - eczema is a sort of allergy and can be controlled. But usually kids grow out of it...that is as the age progresses, they become better starting from 6 months.
Sorry of the late response - I did not know that you replied.
