My 6 year old son does not have a history of eczema but recently, he started having rashes on his neck, arms and behind the knees. The skin condition became more aggravated and the itch became more severe as the weather got hotter. I brought him to a GP and they said it was eczema and gave him a kind of steroid cream and calamine lotion. I need advice on: 1) whether my son's condition is a case of eczema? 2) how to take care of the condition? 3) what sort of cream/lotion to use from now onwards? 4) can he still use Kodomo body bath?

Do you have a picture of his rash? It could be heat rash if he do not have a history of eczema. Try to keep dry and as cooling as possible so as not to agitate it any further. You can use aveeno cream from kiddy palace to keep the rashes moisturised. If it is not eczema it should be fine using his normal body wash but if it is, you may want to change to soapless body wash.
