Patient: hi my 8 monts old son got a very dry skin (red) at the back of his knees and in the face . his dr recommended oilatum bath formula and alfacort cream and yet it doesnt go away. I have swithched to dove soap bar from johnson s and johnsons as well. can you pls help me what to put on his dry spots and do you know any dermatologist I can take him in Doha, Qatar? Thanks. Doctor: hello,  welcome to healthcare magic.  i will be glad to be of assistance.  it will best to apply pimecrolimus cream twice a day on the affected areas. it will be effective.  most likely your son has a condition called atopic dermatitis, which causes the skin to get red, itchy and dry.  oilatum bath and the alfacort cream can also be continued.  i am sorry but i cant recommend a dermatologist in doha.  regards.  please let me know your queries.
