Toddler with severe hand eczema. Help!

Would love to hear any experiences. My 2yo has such bad eczema on her fingertips and the heels of her palms. They are so cracked and red. Hydrocortisone didn’t touch it so dr prescribed a strong steroid which almost cleared it up but it was too strong to use long term so it has just got worse again.

I don’t know what to do. She only ever washes her hands with moisturiser and water. We apply her moisturiser (zeroderm) throughout the day and try to get her to wear cotton gloves when she will tolerate them. I’m back to using the steroid intermittently.

Any advice would be great. We are in regular touch with the GP and following his advice but I’m hoping any tips from parents who have been through the same.

Have you tried Elena’s nature collection ?
The oil and creams really helped my DD.
