6mo DS had ezcema. It's not terrible but we're still struggling to find the right cream to manage it on a daily basis.
The worst area is his chest, where he has several patches that just won't completely disappear even with hydrocortisone. His nipples are the worst and it seems the moment we think it's mostly cleared up and stop using the hydrocortisone (as the GP said not to use it too much) it comes right back and one starts weeping immediately. He is also old enough to start scratching it, which doesn't help.
I did see a GP the other week who just shrugged it off, said it really wasn't bad ezcema so there was nothing we could do and that he'd grow out of it eventually.
I know it's not bad ezcema in the wider scheme of things but surely it's not right that his chest should flare up so instantly and that his vest often ends up sticking to it. Should I persevere and see another GP or was the other one right?
