Hello,

It is common for babies to changes skin color and fairness as they grow up.
The dry skin could be due to cosmetics you might be using: shampoo? body lotions etc?

So, first, rule out this external factor. If not, then, check it out with dermatologist to rule out any other more serious issue.

All the best.
