Help for Eczema??

My daughter is 2-yrs-old and has horrible eczema! We have tried everything from aquaphor to crisco...literally. The poor baby bites at her feet because they itch so badly. The creases of her arms flare up constantly, her legs are covered with spots of the rash, and her feet are so cracked from her itching. She breaks out everywhere except her face. What can I do? Topicals the doctor has prescribed haven't helped at all. I feel so sorry for her. Please help!!!

My 6 Yr Old's Eczema Is Awful!

We use Aquaphor, hydra-cortisone cream as well as cream prescribed by her doctor - but her eczema is so persistent! We use 'free' detergent, no fabric softener, and she showers instead of taking a bath, so the shampoo and soaps (also FREE) do not sit on her skin. We've had her tested for allergies - nothing. Dermatologist is next! Any advice? And now that the warmer months are coming, any sunscreen recommendations? Thanks!
