My dd is 5 months, she's had dry skin since she was born but in the last couple of weeks its flared up big time. Its all over her chest, back and arms. She's scratching her chest so much its bleeding and weepy.
I went to the doctors and got some cream which has sorted the dryness out a bit but she's still scratching it loads and its still very bloody and weepy.
She's also on a course of antibiotics to prevent it getting infected but she hates taking it and it all just dribbles out of her mouth.
I'm making her constantly wear mittens to stop scratching but she just rubs it instead which still makes it bleed.
Ill phone the doctors again tomorrow to get another appointment but has anyone got any help/advice in the meantime?
