My granddaughter has bad eczema on her scalp , any suggestions?

Question: My granddaughter is 12 years old and has bad eczema on her scalp with open lesions .She has had this from birth and we used to think it was cradle cap. Doctor prescribes Elidel ( I think thats how you spell it or is it Litadel?)and cortisteroid creams. She uses a T-Gel shampoo but with no improvement and her hair is coming out with the flaking and bleeds . She complains that the creams makes her hair oily and she looks like a dork and refuses to use it half of the time . Does anyone know of any other way to treat it or maybe a home remedie or herbal treatment . Her parents just dont have the finances to take her to a specialist ,



Answer: i get that and have tried everything, my nan told me 2 rub baby oil into my scalp 3 times a week so i do and its not as bad as it used to be, it makes my hair greasy but id rather have that a few times a week than a bleeding and sore head, my little girl has this now 2, and Ive noticed it works better on her than it does me, and the added bonus is no nits, they cant latch on to her hair, i hope this is helpful to you,
