Well, Hazel’s eczema is getting worse and worse. Sad that one of the words she already knows and uses is "Itchy". Creams and such seem to help a very limited amount, but certainly haven’t fixed the problem.
Since there is a link between Celiac and Eczema (and other skin conditions), and many non-celiac eczema patients report doing well on a gluten-free diet, we’re going to try a trial and see if it helps. Today is day 1 and this picture is to record an objective start. We’ll see.

Vaseline is probably the best agent. Soak the affected body part for 10-15 minutes. Then put the ointment/cream on before towelling her dry.
But you’re right, they only help with symptoms, not the cause. Let her play in the dirt more. It’s OK to eat dirt.
