Is dermatitis a form of eczema?


I had posted a question earlier today with regard to my 5 month old daughter's skin rash. It is a bumpy rash on her neck, a little behind her ears, a tiny bit on her face, tiny bit on her chest and is also contained on her back. Her pediatrician told me to try cornstarch tonight and if the rash is not gone by tomorrow, I have to bring her in the office. She thinks it's dermatitis. Is that a form of eczema? My daughter is not scratching thankfully.

I think you have it backwards..

Eczema is a form of dermatitis.. not the other way around..

I have eczema on my elbows and knees...

Go get a good Dr. Have them check for dermamyosistis
