Quick answer
Baby eczema is common and medical. Skincare supports it; it does not treat it. Here is what genuinely helps, and the point at which you stop experimenting.

Atopic dermatitis in infants is a medical condition. Moisturizer is supportive care. A flare that is weeping, crusted, infected-looking, or keeping the baby awake needs a paediatrician — prescription treatment is often what actually settles it, and delaying it does not make the eczema milder.
Between flares, what helps
1. Moisturize very often
Two to three times a day, always within minutes of a bath. Frequency matters more than which cream.
2. Short lukewarm baths, then seal
Long or hot baths make it worse. Pat dry, do not rub.
3. Fragrance-free everything
Including the detergent the baby's clothes and bedding are washed in, and the softener — a frequently missed trigger.
4. Cotton, loosely
Wool and synthetics against inflamed skin keep the itch going.
5. Keep nails short
Most of the visible damage is scratching, not the eczema itself.
Bangladesh-specific triggers
The dry season from November drops Dhaka humidity below 40% and indoor dust rises — both push flares. Sweat in the humid months does the same from the other direction.
Not a treatment
No cream cures eczema, and no diet change reliably does either. Be sceptical of anything promising that.
