HI there,
Wonder if anyone can help me. I?m pretty sure that my 20mo daughter has mild excema. It is on the inside of the elbows, has flared up in the heat (we're in India), and is keeping her awake in the night. I took her to a local doctor who said it was allergic reaction, and prescribed antihistermine cream and syrup. THe cream made no difference, and I?m not very confident about this advise. My copy of ?When your child is sick? would suggest excema - and said avoid antihsitermine creams. I?ve been treating with aqueous cream with calamine that I bought from home, and it seems to be reducing it ? but not clearing it up. Can anyone tell me what is the ?next step? up from that? Ie what a GP in the UK is likely to prescribe?. (I can probably get most drugs here? but need to know what to ask for?)
Many thanks!
