Hi @lculbert I totally understand the feeling of having a child that struggles with eczema. My oldest kiddo is two as well and he struggled mightily with eczema on his face, hands, and some other parts of his body. What we found that was incredibly helpful was using vaniply lotion over his entire body before bed, and then put it on his face and hands in the morning. Then we also would spot treat the eczema spots with hydrocortizone cream.

We found the biggest exacerbation of the eczema was related to allergies, so we give him zyrtec every morning and that helps immensely as well.

Back to you @lculbert, what all have you done for your daughter? I hope what my wife and I have done for our son may be helpful.

We have used vaniply and the doctor has ordered prescription strength Benadryl and liquid steroids. But it only stays manageable with the drugs. We have been to allergists and dermatologists. Many allergy tests and results are different between the skin test and the blood test
