Eczema: Eczema rashes can resolve with time or persist. If there is a family history of allergic disease, the latter may be more likely. Using a moisturizer and soap without artificial fragrance, additives or color will help soothe the skin. Since there is an inflammatory reaction, your doctor will determine if there is a need for topical steroids. Food allergy testing can be informative as well.

See a dermatologist: Soak in bath, then rub in something to lubricate skin. Dermatologist can help. Avoid allergist. Avoid any allergy tests. These are seldom useful and often harmful to eczema.
