hi, welcome to HCM,
your baby is suffering from Atopic Dermatitis.
apply emollient 3-4 times daily.
you can start using pimecrolimus cream once daily and after completion of 12 week apply it twice daily.
hydroxyzine drop should be given to prevent itching.
this will help controlling the disease.
thanks
