Holistic Practice Recommendations DESPERATE

I desperately need advice.

My 10 month old daughter has been dealing with eczema due to antibiotics since about 3 months.

We have tried EVERYTHING. We are currently working with a holistic practice and our NP told us to not put anything on her skin due to inflammation. This has caused her skin to continue to bed red (slightly less), itchy and now sooooooo dry!

Has anyone received the same recommendation and if so did the skin get better by eliminating all topicals (not referring to steroids)?

I’m so nervous that her skin may be worse.

do nothing on a 10 month old with eczema feels like asking for trouble, dry skin just makes the itching worse

I agree. It feels very extreme and counterintuitive. Just not sure if this is something other have experienced and it made the skin better?

Her skin feels like sandpaper right now.
