Sounds like Ichthyosis. Here's some pics and links to help you decide yes or no.

My little boy had eczema on his cheeks. I was not sure what method to use but I didn't want to make my boy go through any surgery treatments at this young age. Some suggested a plastic surgeon since it was in a very visible location but our family doctor recommend this natural guide.

It is common for most babies to have it but most outgrow it by the time they are 12 months old. The fact your husband has it does increase the chances the baby will have a stronger case of it but not always. My oldest son had it until he was 6 months old. My younger son has it even now at 3 1/2 years old but it isn't as bad. If your baby does have it there are treatments and usually just special lotion or perfume free lotion is enough to help with it. If not the Dr can give a prescription if it gets bad.
