My 4 month old has had eczema for about two months now. As of the past month it has gotten pretty bad. It is now all over her torso, on her legs, shoulders, under her chin, on her cheeks, diaper area, forhead and head…
I have taken her to the doctor who now has me on an elimination diet. I have been dairy free for three weeks, and nuts, soy, egg, corn, and a plethora of other things for the past week. It does not seem to be getting better. Does it take time for this to cure itself once you eliminate the food? She is using hydrocortizone for a bad spot near her ear but the rest of her i use vanicream and/or aveeno soothing relief cream. Nothing really seems to be helping and I feel SO BAD for her.
She’s also not sleeping well which I assume is because this bothers her? I have never had eczema so i don’t know what it feels like? Does it itch or burn her? I just don’t knwo what to do. The doctor just keeps telling me to stick to my elimination diet.
I am moisturizing her like crazy and use the hydrocortizone once before bed on that problem spot.

Anyone have any great, FAST cures for this problem? I feel so bad for her.
I wash her clothes in an all natural detergent but it was fragranced so I now use a fragrance and dye free detergent. I also dont use soap unless needed then I use burt’s bees. She wears cotton onesies mostly every day.
