Eczema
Need abit of advice!
My daughter is eight months old and suffers with eczema all across her body and with the obvious high temperatures my daughter is not sleeping at all because she is so flared up.
No matter how many times i’m moisturise her or put hydrocortisone on her elbows and knees she is still very unsettled. The doctor said to give her prescribed Antihistamine which I have and that don’t seem to work in slightest.
I’ve booked another GP appointment due to the severity that it is now.
Is there anything that I can do for the time being? I’ve got all windows and doors open as well as cooling fans and just nothing seems to help. And on top of that, she’s getting agitated because she’s not sleeping.

I would try a bleach bath for now to settle the itch.
When you do see the GP ask for a referral to dermatology and a blood test for allergens.
My advice is to find out first if she got any allergies because that’s what happened with my son. He would flare up proper bad if he had milk or season changes
Keep an eye on her diet as well when it flares up more. And definitely you should request the retest Bec even for our son we had to go many times and tell them it’s not just eczema it’s something more and then they actually tested him for food allergies.
