###Human: My baby is suffering from eczema. Please suggest some treatment. ###Assistant: Hi. This is atopic dermatitis. It has many causes. Most common is due to allergy to various dietary protein or external stimuli. We need to elicit the history properly and need to do investigations to delineate the cause. First we will do basic investigation then we will proceed according to the reports. My advice is as follows: We may need systemic steroid to control this intractable eczema. But, first we need to do basic investigations. Please get the following investigations. Complete blood count, liver function test (AST (aspartate transaminase), ALT (alanine transaminase), bile and protein), ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), platelet size and IgE level (immunoglobulin E).
