My daughter has terrible eczema, and it sounds like that is what your poor daughter has. Here's what the dermatologist told me:
(1) If you can get your hands on it order some Cetaphil cleansing lotion from the U.S. - AND some Cetaphil creme (not the liquid lotion). Use the cleansing lotion for baths and put the creme on as frequently as possible.
(2) Steriod creams prescribed by the docs will provide only temporary relief, if at all.
(3) Stop using fabric softer as it is FULL of chemicals, dyes and fragrances that aggravate eczema.
(4) Stop using scented laundry detergent for your baby's clothes. The stuff marketed to babies is actually the worst stuff for bubs with sensitive skin. Carrefour occasionally sells their own brand of scent/dye-free powder but I haven't seen it in months. You can also find Tide Free occasionally at Megamart and Lulu. It's pricey (QR75 per box) but if you only use it on your baby's clothes then it will last a good while.
Definitely take her to the dermatologist, as nomerci suggested.

Good luck - I hope she feels better soon!
