for some reason they don't. It cleared up my son's eczema too. So annoying they give you steroid cream first, which only works if you use it all the time.

Unfortunately it hasn't helped me (I have had eczema badly since I was a baby) but I have heard that it's great for wee ones who aren't already steroid dependent.
