If it is something he has had for a while, it is most likely being caused by an allergen - so it may be Eczema; though it is difficult to tell. It is best to see a dermatologist (skin doctor) for precise diagnosis. Skin complaints in infants is best dealt with through a process of elimination. Eliminate ANYTHING that contain chemical being used on his skin. Do NOT use any lotion, ointment or cream. Use Almond Oil or Coconut Oil (organic of course). If there is no improvement, it may be a fungal issue, so you can then try fungal/ steroid creams.
Try washing his clothes, bedding, etc only with a very mild soap/ detergent; nothing harsh. Are there any dogs, cats, pets the house? If so avoid him coming into contact with them. Change ALL his bedding/ blankets, etc, as there may be dust mites in them.
Get some Glycerin liquid. Put a capful into his bath water every day. Do all these things and look for improvements. Notice what causes a change and what doesn't. Hope this helps.

@Zuluchuckwu -

If you have tried all i mentioned, there should be an improvement in his condition - Sebamed and Aveeno still contan chemicals, though they are milder than other cleansers. Even if there is no total cure, you should continue. ALL pharmaceutical product designed to combat skin allergies still contain chemicals.
I will repeat my advice for you again -

- Change ALL his bedding
- Do NOT wash his clothes with any detergent. You can wash his clothes with his bath/body wash.
- Use only natural products on his skin lotion - Coconut Oil, Almond Oil, Shea Butter or Pure Aloe Vera lotion (all organic and must contain no other chemicals))
- Put a capful of Glycerin into his bath water every day.

Just observing these 4 things consistently would result in a marked improvement in his condition.
