It could be one of those.|||He may have eczema. My son had it when he was a baby. It's not contagious or dangerous, but can be itchy and uncomfortable. You really need to let a doctor take a look at it and he can probably prescribe some cream or lotion to help clear it up.|||tell the doctor|||could be staph infection..|||Ring worm is pretty common also, are they round patches? Don't panic, contact dermatitis can look like this too. What kind of cream are you applying? This could be making it worse.|||Go to your doctor and request emollients on prescription.but it's a long process,no overnight miracles-sorry.|||slap the spot with some benzol acid|||Yes. He definitely has a skin condition, probably eczema. Go see your doctor for diagnoses and a proper prescription. Lay off all the creams and soaps until you get a diagnoses. Impetigo is quite contagious and appears like scabby crusts. See your doctor.|||For dry skin, use a creamy cleanser to melt away dirt. Leave it on your skin before sweeping it away with cotton wool. Splash cold water onto your face to clean and refresh your skin. Use a thick cream moisturizer to seal in as much moisture as possible and have a refreshing feel.check out http://tipsfromruby-skincare.blogspot.co...
