Good morning mam, my daughter skin developed rough patches. what could be the reason and how it can be treated.

A. Rough patches on your daughter's skin could be caused by various factors, including: Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis): This condition can cause dry, itchy, and red patches. It is common in children and can be triggered by environmental factors, allergens, or irritants. Treatment: Use fragrance-free moisturizers and gentle, mild soap. Your doctor may recommend topical steroids or other treatments. Dry Skin: Harsh weather, hot baths, or using strong soaps can lead to dryness, which can cause rough patches. Treatment: Apply a gentle, hypoallergenic moisturizer regularly, especially after bathing. Ensure she stays hydrated and avoids long, hot baths. Allergic Reactions: Skin allergies to products like lotions, soaps, or fabrics could cause rough patches. Treatment: Discontinue use of any new products, and consult a doctor if you suspect an allergy. Fungal Infections: Conditions like ringworm can cause scaly, rough patches, often in a circular shape. Treatment: Your doctor can recommend antifungal creams if this is the case. Heat Rash: If the skin is exposed to excessive heat or sweating, it can lead to red, rough patches. Treatment: Keep the skin cool, use loose clothing, and apply a cooling lotion. General Care: Keep her skin moisturized. Use gentle, fragrance-free skincare products. Avoid scratching or rubbing the affected area. If the patches persist or worsen, it's important to consult a pediatrician or dermatologist to determine the exact cause and get appropriate treatment.
