Poor Nathan has serious dry skin on his face. Most likely this is eczema. Found a great web site that talks about different types of rashes. His "blanches" or turns white when pressed, so that is a good thing. If it blanches, then we know it's not meningitis, but it still can be various types of irritations. (I learned that here.) Most likely, however, it's eczema, because Jim has eczema. Treating it looks fairly detailed! I guess I'll get to learn some new things. Here's a page on baby eczema. I would normally take him to the doctor, which i may still, but we're buried in snow right now!!

Skin problems are an external manifestation of an internal problem. Most likely it's the formula he's on that is causing the problem or it could be the laundry detergent. Try using Dreft or something with no perfumes,dyes, etc. like a Tide Free kind of detergent but for babies. Maybe that will help!!! Usually it's something you are ingesting that causes what you are dealing with
