8 months old baby skin itching
Hello doctor, my daughter (8months old, 7.2kg) have itching in the neck and chest (towards shoulder region) since afew days. There was redness and small bumps (rashes??) In the area on chest.. then it turned to pale scaly and itchy patch of oval shape (3x4cm).. now the rash and redness in neck area.. baby keeps on scratching the area..
I don't use any baby lotion/cream since the pediatrician here advised not to use
Is it because of tht??
Will it go on its own?
Will it return?
Will it happen in this young children?
Nobody handling the baby have any skin conditions.
Thank you..
