It sounds like Eczema (also called atopic dermatitis), a skin rash that often appears in the first year of life. Eczema usually shows up on a baby's Forehead, Cheeks, and Scalp, but it can spread to the Arms, Legs, Chest, or other parts of the body.
Your baby's rash might look like dry, thickened, scaly skin, or it might be made up of tiny red bumps that can blister, ooze, or become infected if Scratched. Eczema isn't Contagious, but because it's intensely Itchy, Scratching can be a problem.
