Our daughter is almost 1 year, and has recently developed an eczema-like rash on her back (and not in the 'classic' eczema zones). She has had it for about 2-3 weeks. We have cut dairy out of her diet, changed washing powder to Ecover non-bio, applied moisturiser and oil in her bath, reduced bathing, but it hasn't improved hugely. We are also in the process of weaning our daughter - recently dropped from 3 breastfeeds a day to 2. She doesn't seem to be suffering any itchiness or irritation - but it is unsightly. Does anyone have any other suggestions, or similar experiences? We are reluctant to use the steroid cream, because of potential side effects.
