My Son is 6 months old and has a few dry spots on his arms and legs, any advice on what it could be and what i can use to help it.. they are not red or anything you can't really tell by looking, just feeling it..

My daughter had something like that when she was little.
My doctor told me not to worry about it and it did go away eventually (maybe 1-2 months)
I just used regular baby lotion all the time on the dry spots. I especially liked Aveeno Baby Lotion. They have one that says for extra dry baby skin right on the front of the package and you buy it at any sort of walgreens or Targert.

It sounds like eczema to me. My older son had this as an infant, and his pediatrician recommended Eucarin lotion. It's non-irritating to the skin, and will help with the itchiness, if it is eczema. You should probably call your child's pediatrician first and describe it to him/her, and see if an office visit is warranted. It could be something worse, or it could be nothing at all.

These are just dry spots that happen to any child. My son gets these too. I asked my doctor and he told me to use Aquaphor. You can get it at any pharmacy or your local wal-mart.

My son had that from 3 - 9 months and his doc. recommended Advantan Emulsion for him and it worked like wonders. It's even great on little rash or mosquito bites. Pls consult you doctor though.

Could be Excema. They have special soaps and lotions in the baby section for this. Give it a try and see if it helps. Even if it's not Excema it won't hurt him.

sounds a bit like a fungi growth( its not as bad as it sounds) ,go to pharmacy and ask .or try a cream for tinia or thrush,I know that sounds strange but it will work in a couple of days ,if it dosnt work it wont hurt and you should then try something else.

Best thing to do would be to ask his pediatrician or a nurse at your local clinic.
