If you haven’t already, go to an allergist. They can tell you what you are allergic to that is causing or making the exzema flare up. I had it from head to toe when i was younger. If I wore anything but cotton or slept on anything but cotton, I would break out badly. Some people believe that if a fabric is soft, it should be okay. Not the case. I did grow out of it but some grow in to it. I have heard that zinc is good and cortizone creams. Believe it or not, an old school cream is Crisco. That worked for my friends mom that had it. I would still see an allergist to get to the the root cause of it.
