From your description, I think he has atopic eczema which is common in children. Avoid using harsh soap. Use soaps only once in 2 or 3 days. Acute episodes of atopic dermatitis needs steorids creams and if severe steroid tablets. Later moisturizer can keep it under control. Please send photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment advice
