Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

Can you send me a picture for a better assessment?

From what you said, this may be a manifestation of skin allergy (atopic dermatitis), which can have intermittent exacerbation depending on climate and environmental allergens. This is a chronic disorder which is difficult to cure completely. Applying a moisturising cream regularly after bath will offer some help. During flareups, this will need topical steroids and anti allergy drugs for few days. Kindly keep regular followup with a dermatologist.

Sometimes, an allergy skin test followed by desensitisation or avoidance of the particular allergen if feasible will offer longterm remission.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
