Dry itchy skin

I don't know what to put on my babies face, particularly forehead, it's so dry and clearly itchy and irritating him, I have been using child's farm moisturiser but its just not touching it. He made it so sore from rubbing and scratching it. Any advice on what I can use? Doesn't really show in picture at all really but you can see he's made it bleed 😩 x

My son has eczema on his forehead. Doctors prescribed Oilatum moisturiser that works really well (you can buy in boots) and i use childsfarm oatderma soap in the bath, apparently oat based soaps are better for dry and itchy skin! His forehead used to be bright red and within a week it has cleared using these xx

We use child’s farm baby coconut oil for my boys head, he has a bit of left of cradle cap that shows more as dry skin now but that definitely helps. Barrier cream might also help 😊

Thank you both so much, I'll be heading to town tomorrow to see if I can't find either, if not amazon, thanks again x

I use the Lanolin nipple cream for any extra dry bits.. it's been amazing for the tiny bit of cradle cap he had and any random dry patches. We use baby oil straight after a bath whilst he's still damp and Bloom & Blossom Hungry Caterpillar Moisturiser in between baths. 💖
