The problem with the steriod creams is that it thins the skin therefore, (in theory) each time a flare up happens it will  gradually get worse. My daughter had it when she was a baby. We treated it following the Chinese theory that anything that shows on the skin, roots from the digestive system. illiminating certain foods with help. Most comman being Oranges, bananas and peanut butter. We also used to put camomile tea in the bath and smoother her in Olive oil every night, only thing was you couldn't catch her after that! now 7 years on we have very little flare up, usually happens when she eats particular foods. and more often in the winter
