Question

A baby who is about to turn 6 months old has developed rough skin on their shoulders, neck, and arms. This issue has persisted for over a month, with occasional small red spots appearing in the rough areas. What could be the cause, and how should it be handled?

Answer

Based on the description, the baby may be experiencing a localized issue due to dry skin. It’s suggested to keep the baby’s skin clean and change their clothes frequently. Apply moisturizing cream to the rough skin areas to protect the skin. When bathing, avoid using water that is too hot to prevent skin irritation. These are the recommendations for dealing with your baby’s rough skin problem. I hope this helps, and wish you and your baby good health!
