Does dermasone 0.025 help my daughter's eczema?😱

I had applied steroid cream Dermasone Betamethasone, dermasone 0.025 on my 2.5yo daughter's arms and wrists and Betasone Betamethasone 0.1% on the inside of her thighs and back of her knees, moisturised with Cetaphil Restoraderm Body Moisturiser, for a week until the eczema rash had cleared up and the skin was smooth. However, now a week after she had recovered, she's beginning to scratch again. The rashes don't look as angry as before so I'm applying the dermasone 0.025 steroid and moisturiser to the same areas. However, she's still scratching her wrists, arms and back of her knees. In fact, the skin behind her knees have started to flake off. The areas are not red. Is this the rebound effect of using the steroid creams? Should I be using the stronger steroid cream instead or moisturise the skin more often?

I used baby moisturizer in stated of dermasone 0.025

What TCM treatment can I use for eczema?

Found this really interesting and informative article about using TCM to soothe eczema. According to the article, TCM involves a highly distinctive diagnostic approach, allowing each patient to be treated on an individual basis. It manages eczema through a holistic approach of harmonising the body's 'yin yang qi xue' (阴阳气血). Herbs may be prescribed and general or Itchy Scratchy TCM to the Rescue auricular acupuncture may be performed to detoxify and clear dampness or heat from the body, and strengthen the spleen, which will help regulate the digestive system. http://www.rafflesmedicalgroup.com/patient-education/article-detail/healing-eczema

Hi there, just wondering if you still have the eczema issues? I’ve used I think mostly all of the products for daughter for last 12 years until now I discovered this really good product. It’s also important that the detergents we use are safe, non toxic and free of parabens. Do contact me privately at 92330648 and I can share more with you what I do for my daughter the last 12 years.

Any recommendations for laundry soap or detergent for baby with eczema?

According to the National Eczema Association website, the number one recommended detergent brand by dermatologists, allergists and pediatricians for sensitive skin is the All Free Clear Laundry Soap. This hypoallergenic formula is tough on stains yet gentle enough, it is free of dyes, fragrances and irritating residues. It also removes 99% of seasonal and household allergens -- which is perfect for eczema prone skin.
