Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
By what you quote I feel it could be an eczema or allergy of the skin and it requires only moisturizers. Unless there is pus there or fever there is no need for antibiotics.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
