What Causes Eczema Like Rash Over The Torso?

my 3-year old has an eczema like rash over her torso and extremities - I recently cut all nut butters from her diet a week ago and it improved but she still has flare-ups (much less severe now, though). Is there another dietary restriction I should try?

Hi...food allergy does not manifest like this. I feel this is isolated eczema.The trick of the management is keeping the skin moist and never allowing it to be dry. For this oil massage and lotions like Oilatum will help. Regarding cure options - eczema is a sort of allergy...allergies can only be controlled and can never be cured. But usually kids grow out of it...that is as the age progresses, they become better.
