POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month2 months agoA. Dry and peeling skin around your 4-month-old baby's neck is common and usually happens due to moisture, drooling, heat, or milk residue collecting in the skin folds. Here's what you can do:
Keep the area clean and dry: Gently wipe the neck folds during bath and after feeding. Pat dry—don’t rub. Apply a gentle baby moisturizer: Use a fragrance-free baby cream or ointment like petroleum jelly or coconut oil to keep the skin soft and prevent dryness. Dress your baby in breathable clothes: Avoid overheating and choose soft cotton clothes to reduce irritation. Watch for signs of infection: If redness, smell, or oozing appears, consult a pediatrician as it may be a fungal or bacterial infection.
Maintaining cleanliness and moisture balance should help heal the skin quickly.
