Fia has allegies as well that we have had trouble identifying, we took her to a naturpath before xmas and the test that she did indicated that she had reactions to milk (but not lactose), chocolate, hazelnuts (goodbye nutella), peas, vegemite and potatos. We changed over to A2 milk instead of normal cows milk and eliminated the others and the rashes have started to clear up, she still has the odd flare up and I will get her properly allegy tested when she is a little older. The hyrdozole andanything else with cortozone were useless for her, moogoo didnt work (milk based), so she is back on pawpaw cream, qv wash and goats milk soap.
I'm another one who's saying get a referral to an allergy specialist. You should be able to get one through your GP. I had my DS diagnosed with dermatitis/eczema from 4mths old. I got a referral (at about 9mths) and DS was tested via the skin ***** tests. He was about 15mths old when tested. We now know to avoid sesame and keep an eye on egg white with him. We (DS & I as we're still BFing) had to do an elimination diet (cut out dairy, egg and sesame - had a slight reaction to dairy & egg) and then re-introduce dairy (lowest reaction result) and then egg later.
If it looks the same as the break outs before, and moogoo is helping, it could still be eczema. DD is having a significant skin crease flare up ATM due to the heat / humidity. It has also extended a bit beyond this to her legs and arms.
But if you want to be sure about the allergies / intolerances a referral for allergy testing is needed. I would also consider a dermatologist review too to assess the skin appropriately rather than a GP.
