Eczema Behind Ears

baby with unknown rash, eczema or other?

Here are the details of my 7 month old's rash:
1. not caused by food. done all the eliminating
2. use free and clear laundry
3. comes and goes on her face, back, chest and especially behind her ears.
4. itchy but hydrocortisone cream DOES not help
5. Cetaphil seems to help a little
6. rash is not raised very much off skin and not weepy like eczema is described
7. does seem to get better with doc recommended dose of benadryl
8. not on her legs at all!
HELP...any rash your child experienced would be helpful to me.
no new anything...
hydrocortisone does not work, aveeno made it worse along with aquaphor

Eczema rashes can also vary, my daughter had had eczema from about 12 months and it looks like my other child is also getting a bit. They have a dry type of patch that comes up especially behind ears, on legs (behind knees) and arms, sometimes around they eyes goes red too.

I have taken daughter to the skin specialist and been prescribed creams that have worked for a while, but then stop working when the skin becomes used to the product.

The cetaphil in the bath is the best, and also a cream I have found good called Aveeno with natural colloidal oatmeal (oatmeal is great to treat eczema also) I have been told that these things come in 7 year cycles, so I have a little over 2 years to see if this is true, fingers crossed!

There is nothing worse than seeing your child suffer the discomfort and pain of these itchy rashes.

Try keeping the area moist with a good moisture treatment (like Aveeno) and covering in cotton bandages or tights, also be sure to vacuum regularly and change bedding (as I have ben told that dust mites contribute also)(

Good luck, and I hope you find out exactly what the problem is

*****EDIT******
It sounds like alot of products are not working for you. Have you been to a dermatologist? maybe they can help with a proper diagnosis? Sorry I can't be of more help, I know how frustrating it must be for you.
