Hi L.-
This sounds very similar to what my daughter had. It would drive me crazy because the Dr's kept recommending Aquaphor and it never really went away. The rest of her skin is beautiful- no dry patches of any kind. Finally one of the Dr's at my pediatricians office recommended using Hydrocortisone cream ( I used Aveeno cream) 2 x's a day and within a couple of days it was gone and has never come back. i used it very sparingly, at night after her bath and then in the morning before she went to the sitter. She is now 13 months old and that was about 5-6 months ago.
Hope this helps
J.
