Hi, my 5 year old daughter has been constantly getting irritated due to dry skin and itching all over the body. It's so frequent that she often scratches the body and get scars on legs and hips. She is facing this from almost 3 years now. It increases in winters. She does eat lot of sweet food (candy, chocolates, biscuits etc.).

I think she is suffering from atopic dermatitis. Have you shown to any dermatologist for it. Try to use lukewarm water while bathing her. Use cotton cloth for her. Winter wears shud be above cotton wear. Some medicated moisturisers reduces it. Can't write brand names in open forum.
