9 month old daughter has eczema- all over body

Hi,
My daughter has quite severe eczema. It's almost on all parts of her body. Her back, large parts of her chest, thighs and arms. She also has lots of dry patches on her limbs, even where there is no eczema.
Started: at around 2 months old, fairly mild. First had cradle cap.
Got a bit worse at around 4 months and then just kept getting worse.
Was immunised once only at 6 months. Possibly got worse after that. I have not immunised her since then.

Was breastfed exclusively until 4 months and then we started topping up with formula. Changed to goats formula at 6 months and have been using only goats since. Has had no dairy or wheat products although I eat them in moderation.
When she was only breastfed she passed stools very infrequently - every 10-14 days. Once she started formula and solids, her stools became more frequent. Now she is passing around 2-3 a day and they are mushy. For a while she wasn't thirsty at all but ate a lot. She was passing hard stools around this time. She took Pulsatila and her thirst increased with a temporary improvement in her eczema. No long term change to eczema however. She now drinks a lot and eats a little less though still has a good appetite. She is a good day sleeper but not so good at night. In the morning and during the day she always wakes up happy. When she wakes at night she is always wide awake. No feeding in her sleep for her...
Her eczema is incredibly itchy, she itches all day. We have used cortisone creams out of desperation just to give her relief. We try to minimise though. She used to get lots of colds when she was quite young. On two occasions when she had the flu and croup, her eczema completey cleared while she was fighting the virus but then returned once she started getting better.
During pregnancy I had gestational diabetes and high blood pressure in the last week. I was quite anxious during the pregnancy for family reasons. Her birth was natural and fast.

Have I left anything out? I would appreciate any help as her condition is really making her life miserable.

THANKS !!!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Wanted to add:
She has almost always had a crack on her right ear lobe which bleeds when she rubs it. None on her left ear.
The back of her head (at the base) seems very itchy and she scratches it a lot even though there doesn't appear to be any eczema there.
When younger she had a very moist, red neck area, and underarms which lasted for months. This returned recently but as since started healing. She loves having her neck rubbed (I guess because it gets itchy).
Never had nappy rash of any sort.
Since we stopped washing her clothes in detergent, her back improved somewhat (even though the detergent was mild for babies).
Also, a nutritionist diagnosed her as having candida and prescribed Nilstat drops for 6 weeks. There was definite imrpovement after about 4 weeks but when we stopped using it after 6 weeks it got worse again.

Sorry, just remembered 2 v. important points:
Eczema gets worse in warm weather and in dry (low humidity) weater. She's quite a 'hot' baby.

Thank you. I will try. I have to order this remedy online first as I don't have this potency at home. Can I ask why start her on LM4, not LM1?
Thanks,
WB

Sulphur is a good remedy. But why so high potency to this small child. Why not in 30 potency to start with?
