My DD had horrendous eczema that nothing could help.

Then a skin swab came up positive for staph bacteria. We were given Dermol lotion and bath emollient..it has antiseptic in it..not sure if you can get it there though, but there should be something similar.

Now you would hardly even know she had eczema.

Bandage garments worn over a thick layer of emollient all the time also really helped her!

But I have just realised you said its only on her face!

We were given stronger steroids just to use for a short while to keep it in check then could move down to hydrocortisone. and her face has settled and stayed mostly clear!
