Hi Doctors, my granddaughter is 4 years old, having skin scaling problem since 2014 and happens in cold weather. Lot of scratching and later results in pain and bleeding. Consulted several doctors, but no improvement. They prescribe lotions, ointments, tablets. But can't specify whether it's fungal effect, scalping or so. In summer, no problem. Skin is smooth, b normal. please advise.

It seems to be icthyosis. In lay may term you can say extreme dryness of skin. You shoul use urea based moisturising cream or if it's very severe then show to a good dermatologist.
