My son at the age of 10 months had something simular it started on his leg and moved up his back and on his arms. I took him to the doctor they weren't positive it was eczema so they sent me to a dermatologist. They prescribed medication for my son that should not have been. Before filling the prescription I researched them online and found out that they shouldn't be used on a child under 2 due to high risk to leukemia and other aliments which was on the company who manufacture its website. Also not to be used long term which they prescribe it for 6 month then 2 weeks off then 6 months. Once they told me it was eczema I knew Renew lotion from melaleuca would do the trick so I did 2x's a day for 1 week it was gone I continue to use it once a week. He is now 2 and hasn't had any problems.
