Hi. Firstly apologies if this message has cropped up somewhere else...I wrote it, posted it and seem to have lost it!! Anyway - my DD is 17 mnths and has had eczema since 2mnths - arms and legs controlled with aqueous in her bath and diprobase ointment and cream. BUT the back of her neck is covered in eczema and we just can't get it under control. GP prescribed Efcortelan which works brilliantly and clears it up in 2-3 days. We can only use for 10 days once a month. Within 24 hours of stopping it, the eczema is back and within 2-3 days she has broken the skin and is bleeding. We find ourselves counting days till next cycle! We use Diprobase oint morning and evening and cream during the day but it doesn't seem to help. Should we be going back to GP? or using something else? WE are at a loss..any thoughts or help would be appreciated. Many thanks
