Kindly do not use powder for children.
You can apply Cetaphil moisturizing cream 2-3 times a day and can make him wear loose cotton clothes.
If any further queries kindly book an online appointment with me.
Take care!

As for a young child, powders are not advised.
Ensure loose cotton clothing, ample air and circulation, daily cleansing with a mild nonirritant soap, and good hydration (milk breast or formula).
For any further doubts, kindly book an online consultation with me.
