What is the best way to get rid of eczema in the folds of the arms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually creams: To treat mild to moderate eczema, many people use hydrocortisone cream (a thin coat on the rash, twice a day for 1-2 weeks). It is OTC, sold at most stores, and works well. A daily moisturizing cream (Cetaphil, CeraVe, Eucerin, Aveeno...) used 2-4 times a day helps to heal eczema and prevent flare-ups. Some people avoid creams with lanolin, aloe, or fragrances due to sensitivity to ingredients.

My four year old has always had sensitive skin. At times, she breaks out with a flat pink/red dry looking rash clustered mostly on her face, behind her knees, legs and in the folds of her arms on the front side of her elbows. Could it be pediatric eczema?
