Baby having white spots on her face. applying cetaphil moisturiser but no use, she had got very dry skin .

It sounds like your baby may be experiencing a condition called eczema, which can cause dry, itchy skin and white spots. In addition to using a moisturizer like Cetaphil, I recommend using a gentle steroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream on the affected areas twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Make sure to apply a thin layer and avoid the eye area. Also, consider using a mild soap for bathing and keeping the skin well moisturized throughout the day. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and management.
