Lindsey, you need to find a new doctor. Visit your local \"Whole Foods\" grocery store and look for Burt\'s Bees Baby Bee Buttermilk Lotion (for sensitive skin of all ages). Its about $8.00-$12.00. Also in the Burt\'s Bees product line there is a shampoo for the scalp that may assist you greatly. These are natural products that will work with your skin to heal your skin, not causing the harmful effects of steroid use. In addition to that, drink more water to cleanse the body from the harmful toxins in your bloodstream. By the way, I live in the mountains too and didn\'t have to go swimming in an ocean for a half hour in order for the eczema to disappear. Some people are born to be doctors, others are just looking for a paycheck. You got bad advice from your doctor, there is better out there for you.
