My two and a half year old son has a dry patch near his mouth. Is there a cream I could put on it?

It sounds like the child may be experiencing eczema, especially if there are other patches on his body and a family history of eczema. Using a hydrocortisone cream and keeping the skin well moisturized can help alleviate the symptoms. If there is no improvement after a few days, it would be best to consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
