Hope my answer was helpful for you. By what you quote I feel this could be an eczema or atopic dermatitis. What you are currently doing is perfectly fine. Skin color changes are quite normal in eczema and eventually the kid will grow out of it. 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.
