How often do you give him a bath?
He may be having an allergic reaction to something too. Our girl had horrible eczema on her chest and face with regular formula. We switched to goat milk based and it cleared up within days.
every other day and hes been on gentlease formula since he was born
Tubby Todd soap All over ointment, when running a bath put the soap in the water and not directly on the skin, and try to bath as little as possible while the patches are healing, try a non-toxic and scent free laundry detergent for clothes, also stick to ointments and avoid lotions as they are water based and actually drawn more moisture out of the skin as the lotion dries (crazy I know)
Also food can be a trigger, I know dairy is a big trigger for a lot of people but it can really be anything
Chemicals and fragrance in anything he touches can be a trigger too
Also as previously mentioned goats milk formula helps!
take him to the pediatrician and ask for Triamcinolone. im grown and it works for me
If you know anyone who is breastfeeding or can join a milk sharing group on facebook, breast milk baths do wonders for not only my sons skin, but mine too😅
We had to cut out dairy, we can only use the dove baby soaps and lotions, I also mix my breast milk with the lotion so it tends to help a little more
