Child has fine rash on stomach
Does anyone know what this could be? Been given steroid type cream twice from doctors which has cleared it up. But then it just comes back. Child is not sick, but can’t think what could be causing it as haven’t changed much. Child always complaining that skin is itchy thanks

Hey!
It could be eczema or an allergic reaction.
Don't use too much steroid creams (talking from experience), it's not great, and it has lots of side effects.
Try a very moisturizing body cream/lotion or some organic sunflower oil (easy to absorb by skin).
Maybe change your laundry soap, don't use fabric softener anymore if you do.
Use a soft sponge to exfoliate your child’s skin during shower/bath.
When it gets itchy, add some moisturiser.
I mainly use Epimax, Ocado cooking organic sunflower oil (that's great for nappy change also!) and aveeno baby dermexa good night emollient balm.
I also like weleda baby and La roche posay.
@Fatima yes I was told by doc it looks like infantile eczema. Oh right okay,I have been using hydromol on her skin but it doesn’t seem to be clearing it up. I have been wondering if it is an allergy. Thanks for tips will try them all.
You're welcome. I hope it helps.
Just remembered that some fabrics can also cause eczema reaction, wool, polyester etc.
Stress also...
