I moisturize daily but as inflamed and as itchy as it looks it doesn't look like it bothers him. Right now using aquaphor. And it seems like its helped a bit. I'm just hoping this passes. Thank you so much for responding.

The picture is typical of atopic dermatitis.Itching would be a predominant Moisturizing the skin is a must. External application of mild potency steroid creme is best done with your doc's advice.While recurrences are common the child would outgrow the condition soon.
Best wishes.
