Eczema: Often eczema in toddlers is related to food allergy. Has a new food or topical item been introduced?Milk , eggs , grains can cause reactions. You can consider stopping dairy for a 7-10 days and if no change , then a week egg free then a week grain free. Consider coconut oil/Cetaphil lotion for moisturizing & video consult on Heath Tap prime with a pediatrician or allergist. F/U/ w/ MD call

Covid concerns.: Many doctors are providing virtual consultations. You can try "talk-to-doctor" on HealthTap, contact your child's pediatrician or find another provider in your area who is offering telemedicine/ virtual care.
