Treatment/Derm: A Dermatology referral from your PCP is recommended. Watch for swelling and pain associated with the rash. Eczema lotion may be applied several times per day as well as a low dose steroid topic cream twice daily. Avoid harsh soaps and detergent.

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?
