My son is 3 and has severe eczema. We are scheduled to see an allergist that specializes in pediatric patients, we have to go to Boston for this. We've found out a few things about this condition that some doctors don't mention and that is that after being on a cortizone cream for a long time the patient gets used to it and it no longer works. Which is what happened in my sons case. There is a prescription called atopiclare that is not a steriod instead it's a cream meant for eczema. Atopiclare is very expensive 150.00 I found that it works well on moderate eczema but on the realy bad spots it does not help. Flair ups from Eczema are usualy caused from an allergy. I believe it's best to figure out the cause first and try to avoid those things. Try visiting an Alergist and get tested for what might be causing your flair ups. Also I've had people recomend Naturopathic specialist. We have one not far from us you might want to check for one in your area. We plan on visiting one if we can't get a solution from the allergist. Hope this helps ... View related article.

I believe it's best to figure out the cause first and try to avoid those things. Have your child brought to a Alergist and tested for what might be causing his flair ups. Also unless his eczema is fairly bad most doctors will simply treat it with a steriod cream. I'd insist he sees a specialist. Also I've had people recomend Naturopathic specialist.
