Idk what this is but being a ftm you learn alot of things the hard way. the first picture was taken on January 27. im not even sure how long his skin has been this way. we went to the dr on Feb 4 and the dr said it was just dry skin.he prescribed hydrocortisone lotion and told us to apply it twice a day for 7 days..so thats what we did,actually passed the 7 days,until we ran out.im thinking his skin would stay smooth,i was wrong.after about 2 days,it started back drying up again. im still at lost. so went to walmart sunday and got some Aveeno moisturizing cream,said its 24 hr moisture..so it finally hit me,babies' skin dries out fast. so i put it on twice a day.the second picture was taken today..the dryness was all on his back,shoulders,down his arms,sides,and back of his legs..i hope it stays like this.

Oils last longer than lotion i would use both i have eczema and i have to use oil and lotion multiple times a day just so i wont itch .

Coconut oil and olive oil are your best friends.. I would stay away from any hydrocortisone. I have had eczema my whole life and the prescribed things never worked for me, instead they just aggravated the itching and dryness but the natural oils worked wonders.

I also mix the oils with unscented lotion to last longer. Aveeno and Cetaphil are birth great
