my baby has a rash doc says in eczma im not sure anyone else had similar?

my 19mth old has has a spotty itchy rash mostly on his lower back, but the rest of his body has gone slighlty rough feeling. he's had it now for 7weeks. it fades then flares up again, but never goes completly. he went into hospital 3weeks ago cause he had a temp as well they kept him in thinking it may be scarlet fever, results were neg. they then sent us home saying it was eczma. gave us some vasaline type cream. he still isn't 100% well still has a runny nose (acting his normal self) but the rash is not improving has anyone had anything similar or any tips on what i can do to get rid of it as i dont like all these creams etc.

Answers:
I had it when i was a baby up to like grade 6. I kept on scratching it though. Vasiline is ur best bet, and time will heal it eventually.

eczema is a rash that never totally goes away, he will always have it, there will be times that it's not that bad then there will be others when it is..I have a friend that has it and if I remember correctly if she works out or other "exercise" type activities to cause her to sweat it flares up... keep putting the lotion on it..
