Question
My four-month-old baby has developed hard patches on their skin, resembling the texture of avocado skin. What could it be, and how should I address it? I’ve been giving them a bath every day and the water temperature is fine. Applying moisturizer doesn’t help, and using massage oil makes it harder.
Answer
I am a quick consultation doctor, pleased to assist you in resolving your concerns. Based on your description, your child’s rough skin with bumps may indicate eczema or neurodermatitis. It is advisable to apply calamine lotion topically. If there is no improvement, please visit a dermatologist at the hospital for a follow-up consultation.
