How old is your baby? How was the diagnosis established?
The primary treatment involves prevention, which includes avoiding or minimizing contact with (or intake of) known allergens.
Topical treatments focus on reducing both the dryness and inflammation of the skin.
To combat the severe dryness associated with eczema, a high-quality, dermatologist approved moisturizer should be used daily.
Most commercial soaps wash away the oils produced by the skin that normally serve to prevent drying. Using a soap substitute such as aqueous cream helps keep the skin moisturized. Showers should be kept short and at a lukewarm/moderate temperature.
If moisturizers on their own don't help and the eczema is severe, a doctor may prescribe topical corticosteroid ointments, creams, or injections. Corticosteroids have traditionally been considered the most effective method of treating severe eczema.

It would be advisable to consult a skin specialist for a proper clinical examination.
Let us know if you need any other information and post us on how the baby is doing.
