Dry skin on toddler

[Fluffy Bunny]

Evie has a dry patch on her cheek which has been hanging around for weeks, about the size of a two pence piece, its almost like a bit of excema (sp?)

Can anyone recommend any good cream that would help get rid of it? We tend to only use natural/ organic products, in fact Evie only normally has water and the plainest organic soap going, so would like to go down that route first if anyone has any suggestions. We did start using some orange organic bubble bath but stopped using that in case it was the culprit but it doesn't seem to have cleared.

Her skin is quite dry in general.

Thanking you

My 2 year old was always getting dry patches of skin.Do you use talc? i discovered this to be the cause.

She still occasionly suffers dry skin and i just use sudocreme or E45 for a few days and it soon clears up.

how about an oil?? Weleda do a fab callendula baby oil which isn't mineral, or good old olive oil might help?

We use Aqueous cream but as some rather than rubbing it on dry skin.

Evie is allergic to E45.
