I use aqueous cream on my daughters and it works a treat she only gets the odd little patch...but if i use this straight away it tends to clear up n keep her happy. |

E45 cream or you could try bio oil. Your GP is there for such things though...if you can get an appointment  |

An emollient such as Aqueous Cream, Emulsifying Ointment, and even Vaseline would help.
Providing the skin is not broken or weeping, try 0.5% Hydrocortisone, by mixing 1% Hydrocortisone Cream with equal amount of Vaseline (White Petroleum Jelly).
1% Hydrocortisone Cream is freely available over the counter at Pharmacies, generic is cheaper than branded products such as HC45.
0.5% preparations are available, however, not easy to get hold of. They used to be prescription only even though 1% cream was available OTC.

Get a vitamin e oil capsule, burst with a pin and apply the oil to the affected patch.
As long as it's not red and angry this will ease the flakiness surprisingly quickly - it's what I use when I get eczema patches on my face.  |
