eczema or...?

A
Moms, my 15 mo old recently started getting dry scaly patches on her legs. They're slightly red and were first just on one spot on her thigh but moved to her other leg & now there are a few on her stomach and arms. When I showed her pediatrician he felt one spot quickly & said "could be eczema" and to try lotions. I've begun trying lotions but I was just wondering if anyone else has seen anything like this, our pediatrician has previously brushed off things I've mentioned that have later come back to haunt us (were currently looking for a new dr) so I'm generally paranoid now😩. Any help would be appreciated!
