Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Red Spots On Shins, Dry Patches Of Skin, Reoccurring. Any Ideas?
My toddler has had red spots mostly on his shins appearing they leave a mark where they've been and come up in similar areas , sometimes on his trunk too odd one round his wrist . Sometimes the ones on his legs get quite big like a bite or something, this as gone on for months on and off . Also he has dry patches of skin that look rough and red, I put oilatum on and that helps that. I'm just a bit concerned now as nursery asked me today, he's only been there a few days but I feel worried now.
