Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello dear!
Provided that he is having atopic dermatitis,the wound takes time to heal.Also it can flare up with the things he is allergic to like dust,synthetic fibre of clothes or any specific medicine he has been exposed to.
I would recommend to go for his allergy testing to know what exactly he is allergic to.
Secondly in addition to taking medicines,you can also use some home remedies like application of olive oil to the wound.Also you can use alovera heated in coconut oil for few minutes and take that oil and apply when its on a tolerable temperature.
Avoid silk,nylon/synthetic fibre containing clothes especially fleese.
Use pure cotton clothes.
Hope it will help.Be blessed :-)
