POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy10 months agoA. Rough, dry skin patches on your baby's back could be due to several factors, with dryness being a common cause. Babies often have sensitive skin that can become dry from environmental factors like low humidity, frequent bathing, or exposure to harsh soaps and detergents. However, nutritional deficiencies, particularly in essential fatty acids, vitamins (such as Vitamin D), and minerals, can also contribute to skin issues. It's important to keep your baby's skin moisturized with a gentle, fragrance-free lotion and ensure that they are well-hydrated. Additionally, monitor their diet to ensure they are getting a balanced intake of nutrients. If the dryness persists, worsens, or is accompanied by other symptoms (like redness or itching), consult a pediatrician or dermatologist for a proper evaluation and tailored treatment options.
