Brief Answer: Likely to be due to hot weather Detailed Answer: Namasthe Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day Dear Mr XXXXXXX Every child is unique and has his or her own skin texture. Dryness of the skin is possibly due to 1. Excessive heat and dehydration 2. Lack of essential fatty acid from diet: its unlikely if the baby is still on breast feeding. I would suggest you the following which will definitely help 1. Oil massage Massage his whole body with mixture of equal proportion of coconut oil, olive oil and almond oil with half capsule of Vitamin E ( Evi on capsule, u need to puncture it with needle and the Vitamin E which is oil like can be added to the oil). Massage his whole body twice a day before bathing 2. Lukewarm water bath after massage 3. Himalaya body lotion application after bath 4. Simyl MCT Drops 10 drops orally twice a day The white patches are sometimes associated with dry skin and will subside. It would also be helpful if you could send us clinical photograph for confirmation Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you. Take care Best Regards Dr Deepak Kishore MBBS, MS, MCH Consultant Pediatric Surgeon
