[quote=Anonymous]If you aren’t close to a pediatric dermatologist, a regular one will suffice. We saw a very experienced older dermatologist who prescribed steroid creams for our toddler with terrible eczema. He had about 30 years of experience and reassured us about safely using steroids on the face. We found that it was way more effective and steroid sparing to be proactive with the steroid cream. We would treat until the eczema was completely gone, and then if we saw any small sign of a flare up, use a milder strength right away to avoid the flare up. That way, we were using the mildest strength only every few days rather than trying to put out a fire all the time. Good luck. We also cut out dairy and soy, but not sure it was that effective. My kid is 14 now and has not had a flare of eczema since he was 7 or 8, and has an unrestricted diet. This will get better, OP![/quote]
