My 5 month old has this crusty stuff in her leg creases. what is this??

Question

Sometimes the skin looks raw. I clean it everyday.

Answer

Poor thing! It's extremely dry skin. Most likely eczema and is likely very painful. 
I would get some eczema lotion or ointment for babies and put that on there.

Answer

Really inflamed eczema. You don't really want to scrub it out. You need to get a thick moisturizer on that asap. Its probably causing baby quite a bit of pain right now

Answer

Lukewarm bath, pat dry, and aquaphor the snot out of it. Might be at the point of needing a steorid cream. My son got horrible eczema in the same spot, and when I finally had them prescribe a cream it was gone in 3 days and hasn't come back since.

Answer

Moisturize moisturize Moisturize!

Answer

I’d stop cleaning it... like only use soft cloth and water... and use aquaphor.

Answer

Call your pediatrician, they will know exactly what to do.

Answer

Looks like there may be some yeast to it in that crease. Does it have an odor? It’s common in areas like that t where moisture easily gets trapped. The most important thing is to keep it clean and dry, but may need some cream from a doc to treat it

Answer

I use Dove baby lotion for my baby. The eczema treatment specifically. It has done wonders for his bad skin. I'd give that a shot!

Answer

Is it only one leg?
