I am looking after a baby who had fab skin but now at almost 12weeks old has white scaly rough patches, the only area unaffected is the nappy area.
He only washed with Halo n Horns then Mum used Infacare bubbles and i noticed his skin was looking dry so we stopped the infacare but continued with the HnH but his skin hasn't improved.
It isn't red or open, he is of Nigerian parents so the dry white patches are very noticeable especially under his chin and on his face.
We have been using Shea oil but with no noticeable difference so have moved to Waitrose Bottom Butter, essentially olive oil with camomile and the whiteness is less pronounced but the roughness is the same.
He is creamed and massaged twice a day.
The only thing i can think of is the detergent, we use Fairy non bio either the liquid or liqutabs on a 30' wash with a 30minute soak and water plus turned on and comfort pure in the softner drawer, just half the reccommended amount and sometimes a tumble dryer sheet on a low temp in the dryer.
Ideas welcome.
