Eczema - do I need to take DS to the doctors?

DS2 (13 months) has developed red, dry skin on his forehead over the last couple of weeks. I have never seen/experienced eczema so not sure that is what it is - but the staff at nursery are telling me that it is eczema.

It is not bothering DS2 in the slightest (no scratching etc) and I am putting E45 on a few times a day which does seem to make it less red/dry.

Should I take him to the doctors or just leave it as it is not bothering him?

I'd get it diagnosed personally.

Probably is eczema, but better to check imo.

Take him and get a diagnosis.

Even if it is eczema, you'll get a prescription for (free) cream...
