8 month old dry skin patches

8 month old dry skin patches

My 8 month old son has very dry skin patches on his legs, abdomen, back & arms. I used to use Johnson & Johnson's baby lotion on him, but it's not working. Now I've switched to baby oil. We live in Canada & it's winter time here and we also went to an indoor pool a few weeks ago, which I think greatly dried his skin.
I don't think it is eczema, as it does not seem to bother him at all. It is red, very rough, raised and in patches. The baby oil is not helping much. :(
Do you have any recommendations for an effective treatment?

I would probably have to take him to the Dr. and find out what exactly the red patches are. Then you can treat them effectively.
