Finn's egzema is so bad. It never goes away. I have to put so much crap on his skin every day just to keep it from completely scabbing up; but it never fully goes away. After complaining about this to his pediatrician several times and trying different ointments, we were finally referred to a dermatologist. She agreed that it is just egzema and nothing more serious. And this is his daily routine now to try to get rid of it: Rub Cerave cream all over his body twice a day ($17 per tub), put prescription ointment on all the spots ($49 per tube - and super messy), and then cover him in prescription oil all over his body after each bath ($59 per bottle - and she wants him to get a bath every night - and this stuff is also a pure mess). This routine is exhausting; but it does seem to be working.
