Update: this is what the patch looks like once the dry skin falls off.

@lovelily, I use coconut oil. That's what makes the dry patch fall off but the redness won't go away.

@lovelily, he's had it since birth. I asked the doctor and she said it's not that

@colddchinaa that is a good question. I would call your pediatrics office as speak to your doctor just to make sure

@coralinesmommy12517, alright. Is that safe to use on a 6 month old?

Try the athletes foot cream. If it's a fungus like ring worm then it should get better within a week.
