My daughter has eczema since she was 3 month old. Now she is 9 and still suffers from it. Here are some tips I learned over the years:

1. Check with an allergist. My daughter is allergic to lots of things: pollen, grass, nuts, shellfish. Food and environment media are big triggers of her eczema. She has violent reactions to nuts and shellfish.
2. Use perfume-free detergent for laundry. Such as Tide Free & Gentile. Always do double rinse. Use unscented soap.
3. Take short shower and use luke warm water. Avoid hot water and bath. Before drying her, pat baby oil all over her body. Then cover her head to toe with moisture cream. Do it everyday!
4. Get some sun exposure.
5. Add more health fat to her diet. If she is not allergic to fish, such as salmon, flex seed oil, avocado.
6. Dress her only in cotton or silk.
7. My daughter eats well. I have been teaching her healthy eating since she was very young. She is very healthy otherwise and tall for her age. Reduce junk food form her diet will improve her overall health.

It is long and tedious battle to keep her conditions under control. I hope that she will outgrow it when reach puberty. But I am really not that optimistic.

Good luck!
