Excema in 3 month old - what's best?

My dd has recently been diagnosed with both excema and reflux, I have no doubt the reflux makes the excema worse by irritating it ( she has it on her face & neck, now spreading down her chest and up into her head). In some areas it is just like dry skin, but the majority of it is very red rashy skin. So awful.
We have been prescribed aqueous cream which I am using 4/5 times a day, but also using sudocrem once a day to try and soothe it. It isn't getting better. Any other suggestions?

Oh good. Go armed with some info and be firm!

My DS also had allergy testing but its always come back negative which can happen in little ones. However because he's so symptomatic the consultant diagnosed him with a dairy allergy anyway, in that all he has to do is drink milk and his skin flares up.

Saw a different doctor, actually I think she was a senior nurse or something, her title was sister.
I started off by making it clear I wasn't happy with how I have been dismissed previously & very upset about being given aqueous cream.
She has given us a new cream 'zerobase' and a course of antibiotics as she thinks the skin could be infected, hence so sore. SHE actually asked ME if dd has been tested for any intolerances! A revelation! Booked in to see her again next Monday to see how dd is an look at allergy testing.
Feeling a bit better now, hope dd starts to improve with her skin, then it's just the reflux to sort out
