My DS has suffered with eczema since he was a baby (6m+), it periodically flares up and we've been given 1% steroid creams and a general moisturiser for years from GP (just turned 5y).
We've never really questioned the diagnosis as my DH also has eczema flare ups and has since he was a child. However, the last few months the flare ups have got a lot worse - if that's what they are.. He seems to have huge areas / patches of skin on his chest/shoulders/arms covered in tiny red itchy dots. And then about a month ago, he started to develop bigger red spots, that burst, bleed then scab over and take ages to heal up. He has more spots on his arms and a couple on his face. He says they aren't itchy, but he is scratching them when he's asleep and his PJ's are covered in little blood stains each morning :(:(
