Cream for very dry patches on babies face

[Ijustworemytrenchcoat]

Hello,

My son has very dry patches on his cheeks, they feel rough to the touch and look crepey. I don't think it's eczema, it's not red and he isn't scratching. What can I use on it, any miracle cures?

I've been using l'occitane mum and baby cream as I happened to have some to hand but I don't think it's rich enough. I want something quite plain and non-irritating but rich. Would something like weleda skin food or Lucas pawpaw ointment be ok? Or maybe a pure Shea butter, coconut oil etc.

I know things like aqueous cream aren't recommended if it is eczema and was also just reading olive oil wasn't good.

I was given Liquid Paraffin for my baby when she had something similar - just runny Vaseline really. It worked a treat where others had failed.

Hi, thanks for all the responses. I think I will quickly check with a pharmacist as he has little patches on his jawline and neck that look a bit red - they tend to come up in the evening.
