Dear parents, skin rash in infants and older children is a common nagging problem which keeps recurring inspite of treatment. One of the commonest reasons is the presence of dry skin condition in the child. This can be treated with the use of appropriate moisturising emollients in the right dise for the prescribed period of time. Also frequent bathing can worsen the dry skin. Use a mild baby soap. Do not use scented oils nor talcum powders.
