Rough rashy skin
My son has got rough rashy skin on his arms and legs, he's had it a while and ive tried moisturiser and body butter but its not improving. I imagine it's some sort of eczema. Has anyone got any suggestions before I take him to the doctor?

I would try E45 it’s the best, but definitely take him to the doctor in case it is eczema, they will be able to give you medicated cream xx
We use epaderm on our little one’s skin. Seems to be the best things that’s worked for him but definitely go to the doctors in case he needs something a bit stronger
Took my daughter to a dermatologist a couple weeks ago. Gave us QV moisturiser and wash and also eumovate ointment. We’ve been struggling with her skin for over a year. She now has the softest skin ever. When you’re applying any cream make sure you’re only putting it on in one direction rather than rubbing it into the skin!
Have you checked to make sure its not an allergy reaction? My son had the same and its improved since cutting dairy from his diet
Is it on the tops of the arms and legs? Like little bumps that feel rough to touch? If so, could be keratosis’ pilaris. CeraVe cream really helped my son.
