What could be the cause of dry skin mostly at the back and shoulder region of a 10month old baby? It comes and goes.
Dear mum, Some children are prone to having dry skin. It could also be Atopic Dermatitis.

You could use hypoallergenic moisturizers, like aqueous cream or Sebamed based or pure Vaseline jelly often.
