The outbreaks were always heat-related and occurred in the folds of the skin, opposite sides of elbows and knees. I noticed that most ointments were only good for temporary relief of the problem. We tried everything....baths every other day, Dove soap, special creams and lotions after bath time, etc. Diaper cream (zinc)actually works great. OTC cortisone works pretty good. The ointment is best. The creams burn. There is some consolation.....it subsided in both children between ages 4 and 6.
