DD2 now has patches of eczema on her face, head, arms and legs. Her cheeks and ears are the worst areas. We have found fucidin-H fantastic, her eczema starts to settle from the first application onwards, and within a few days, settles completely. So I stop using it, and it flares up again within a couple of days (not to say I discard it (FH) immediately,I have applied it for runs up to 14 days). This time the GP prescribed fucidin (just the antibiotic cream, no Hc) to follow the fucidin-H after the eczema settled, but exactly the same happened. We use epaderm as an emmolient (the only cream so far which hasn't worsened the problem). I really don't now what to do . The only time she stays clear of eczema is with consistent Hc use, which can't continue indefinitely! I'm really concerned about scarring as her cheeks have had so little time free of either a rash, or weeping / bleeding / cracking. Her whole body isn't covered with a rash, far from it for which I'm grateful, but each time the eczema returns, more patches appear. What can I do?
