Suggest Treatment For Eczema
My 5 year old daughter gets very itchy red blotches on her skin. Once the inflammation ceases the spot that was red turns white and remains white. She has been treated for eczema since infancy and just recently was prescribed a steroid cream but nothing is helping and I am concerned that she may have been misdiagnosed and could possibly have a skin pigmentation disorder? Any idea what it could be?

Hi, welcome to HCM,
Your daughter is suffering from Atopic dermatitis.
Apply emolient and mild steroid mixed twice daily.
Topical immunonodulators has good role in this disorder.
As it is a chronic relapsing disorder, clearence of disese takes long time even years.
For provisional diagnosis you can send clinical photograph of disease.
