DD2 is five weeks old and has got really bad skin mainly on her face. Its just one big rash and feels really dry she also has yellow scales over her forehead and around her eyes. the health visitor has prescribed epaderm cream which i have started using but it doesn't seem to be helping (it also makes her face really greasy!). Does anyone have any idea whether at her age she will grow out of it or does she have excema for good? My dh has very bad skin and i'm worried she's inherited it. Is there anything better I can use and could it be that she's allergic to the formula milk she's on?
