Baby Eczema

My 15 week old has eczema all over her back and it's hot to touch. Does anyone know why this would be? My house isn't hot at all.

It's inflammation. Any inflamed skin will be hot, so that's quite normal. I would probably just get it checked to make sure it is eczema and how to manage it.

Mine had eczema, but it would appear on the face and in the creases of the elbows/knees. It was certainly hot sometimes, yes. But on the back, I'd want to know it wasn't another sort of rash.

Thank you. I went to the GP two days ago who said eczema but also said signs of fungal. Personally, I think it's eczema and I'm worried the fungal cream has actually made it worse. So I'm sticking with the Aproderm for now
