Is it an allergy that the baby's arm is red after ten months?

Patient's question:

Baby is ten and a half months old; there is a patch of redness on the arm; skin peeling; a little blood mark;; there are also circular skin peels on the legs; scabs;; it has been a long time; unsure if it's an allergy or eczema; treatment history and effectiveness: no treatment; what help is desired: is it an allergy or other reasons; how should it be treated

Doctor's answer:

This is infantile eczema, also known as fetal toxin, which is formed due to hereditary constitution across generations. It does not require excessive treatment, as it will naturally improve with age. It is best to avoid using corticosteroid creams for infantile eczema and consider using pure plant-based creams. Before applying the medication, make sure to dry and clean the affected area. Apply it twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. After the symptoms disappear, continue using it for another seven days to prevent recurrence.
