Should I call doctor?

Question

My son has this weird red, flaky, dry spot on his eye brow. I dont know what it is. I have wiped it down with a wet rag a few times but it comes back. Any idea what it could be? Should I just call his doctor?

Answer

My daughter had something that looked just like this.. I asked ped at 1 month visit and she said cradle cap in eyebrows. Anyways I just put Tubby Todd All Over Ointment on the area for a few days and it went away and hasn’t come back. I don’t think it is anything to be super alarmed about at this point. Babies have all kinds of skin issues and rashes at this age. I’d just use moisturizer on the area several times a day and continue with the washcloth. Before I got the ointment I actually used coconut oil a few times before a bath.

Answer

My baby has that on both eyebrows. My doctor says it’s all part of his cradle cap and it’ll go away on its own.

Answer

Looks like a small patch of baby eczema. My son has this as well. I would apply aquaphor or a gentle unscented baby cream :)

Answer

Put a little breastmilk on it 😊

Apply a little bit of breast milk. And my mom said to put olive oil in the bath water !

Coconut oil!!!! Works like magic

Answer

Same with my son. Took about a week. Maybe a little less and it dried up and flaked off. I used coconut oil and breast milk a few times a day. It’s gone now:)
