Patient's question:
The baby is four months old, and there are hard, patchy areas on the skin that feel like avocado skin. What is it, and how can it be resolved? The baby takes a bath every day, and the water temperature is fine. Applying moisturizer doesn't help, and using massage oil makes it even harder.Doctor's answer:
I am a doctor who has resigned from FastAskDoctor, and I am very happy to help you solve your doubts. According to your description, your child's skin is rough with bumps, which may be eczema or neurodermatitis. You can apply calamine lotion externally to treat it appropriately. If there is no improvement, you should go to the dermatology department of the hospital for follow-up. The above is the advice for the question "What should I do if there are hard, patchy bumps on my four-month-old baby's skin?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
