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?

My girl has eczema too and is currently seeing her PD for it. I strongly recommend to see a professional pd or dermatologist that specialises in child allergies and eczema related conditions as I realised many GPs may not have the right products/ specialised knowledge in regards to it as having right management will significantly help to reduce the intensity of it - our pd nurse actually spent 20mins running thru the day to day care with us to Ensure that we are equipped with the right knowledge on doing so. My Daughter's eczema actually got worse initially after I bought her to a very famous GP clinic which sees many children from day to day - coz inadequate medication plus post care knowledge was not given at all.
