I know this post is probably a bit late but my baby suffered with severe eczma, he had scratched his face and chest so bad, he didn't have a clear patch of skin on his body. We went to the skin specialist and he prescribed cortisone cream and within 3 days most of it was gone, we used the cream for about 4weeks and he has had no more ever since that was about 2 1/2 months ago.
He recently had allergy tests done and he has tested positive to cats, he is also allergic to dairy products.
