Splotchy Skin on My 16 Month Old's Joints

if it is more excema, i recommend eucerin. that is what we use on our DS and he hasn't had an excema problem in almost a year now.

my daughter had some weird skin things this summer too. I feel it was due to the pet urine from previous renters in our home and then the harsh toxic chemicals a carpet cleaning company used. Just curious have you had your carpets cleaned lately? Since our little ones are on the carpets rolling around alot I'm very careful what I clean with. From laundry detergent to dishwashing soup, to all my cleaning supplies. Also could it be anything new she has eaten?

I'm no expert, but my husband has Psoriasis(Plaque Psoriasis) and his spots show up on the joint areas first. Check it out on-line, but I would definatley have it confirmed with the Doctor, especially sincie she has had eczema previously.

Hello P. ,
How are you I'm I. and I was reading your request and just wanted to say that I went through the same thing with my son and daughter and even myself right now at this moment but the aveeno is the best product and also try the aveeno with oatmeal bath soap and wash it is really good and have a blessed day

What does her doctor say? Surely, if she's had it for two months, you've checked with her doctor???

Same thing happened to my daughter, she also had eczema and around that age when she was exposed to the sun she got her first white splotches, even though her eczema is almost all gone. She is now 3 and a few times she got a lot of sun and I think i forgot to apply the sun block and she got some more. Let me know what works or what causes it

Also I just read someone's response in which they mentioned a skin condition that causes depigmination. I read something about this too and took my daughter to the dermatologist and asked them to look at her skin under a special light that shows if it is permanant depigmination, there were no signs of it being permanant but they didn't have an answer for me. The spots are not where she had ezcema spots. I am hoping it will just clear up on it's own eventually

it could be birth marks or it could be an allergy to the sun. Really have no idea but a friend, who is an adult, has just started getting those splotches as well and the Derm told her it was an allergy to the sun....not sure...just a thought.

My younger sister has vitiligo, a skin condition that causes depigmination in the skin, hers started out around her ankles and her elbows. In vitiligo the white patches are not dry, and look like reverse birthmarks. If the sounds like it, then you might want to address this issue with her pediatrician.
