What Causes Rashes And White Patches In A 3 Month Old?
Hello Doctor, My 3 months old baby has very dry skin with red rashes and white patches, all over his body. Pediatrician prescribed Atogla, which gave good result at first. But after 2 weeks of application, suddenly his skin became bad as before. Then we consulted Dermatologist and she said that it is atopic eczema and prescribed emolene cream. We applied it for few days which had no effect on him. Which is the best moisturiser for eczema, that does not contain steroid. Please help my little baby.
