My son was like tat too. Went to poly to get a referral for KKH. They suggest use QV baby oil and some cream to apply. It geta better in less than 1 week. So now I maintain it using essential oil

Please see a PD to get the right cream for your LO. Looks like eczema to me. I don't recommend using a powder as it will dry up the skin when LO has rashes/eczema.

even cooling powder also cannot?

Please check with the PD. They will prescribe an anti septic body wash along with creams and moose to stop the itchiness and soothe the skin irritation.
