Brief Answer:
Need to try different approaches, speak to paediatrician and immunologist

Detailed Answer:
Hi ma'am.

Eczemas can be difficult to treat, and even more as he is a child we should be careful with what we can do or use. But you should speak to your doctor about other possible options as well to help your son.

But being as honest as I can, it may take a lot of time and also lifestyle changes to attain a more presentable situation of the condition. Please consult a paediatrician and an immunologist.

Best wishes.
