Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic
I will keep a possibility of
Atopic Dermatitis (AD)
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an Immune mediated disease. Patients have an underlying
dry skin.
There is increased transepidermal water loss [TEWL] as a result of low water retentive capacity of the skin in atopic individuals and therefore skin becomes dry specially in dry, cold weather in winters.
AD patients are prone to develop an
eczema flare, in which the skin may develop dry, red, scaly, itchy areas/patches with or without oozing (Eczematous Dermatitis).
Since the underlying condition in AD is dryness therefore, I would suggest you to use for her an intensive moisturizer, twice daily.
You may use a moderately potent topical steroid+ antibiotic ointment (e.g
fluticasone propionate +
mupirocin), twice daily for the patches for 2 weeks
It is a prescription product.
I would suggest you to visit a specialist for a confirmatory diagnosis as well as appropriate prescription.
