Typical treatments for eczema are topical steroids which are bad enough for the rest of your body and definitely not something you want to inflict on your face. You should ask your doctor about any alternatives to elidel. He knows not to give you steroids for it or he would have done that the first time around. I have atopic dermatitis and I find that aloe vera or oatmeal based moisturizers for the most part work as well as my steroid treatments. Most important thing to do is never ever scratch when you know it's the eczema flaring up. It's dubbed "the itch that rashes" and any time you scratch at it, it will get bigger.
