since it is isolated to the shoulder area, it sounds like its not an infectious disease. it sounds more like an allergy.

Well i know that very well, all my life has been treated to heal it. So here is the solution:
*Warm showers with neutral soap.
*Betametasone cream in the most irritated areas.(diprosone/shering plough)
*Caliderm cream in the rest of the body.
*If you feel anxious, Atarax or Benadryl pills.
*To mostuirize the skin all days, alloe extract, that you will find in the naturist stores.
All this is called atopic dermatitis, caused by an allergy.
All these are suggestions but please go with a dermatologist and allegorist.

Eczema?
-Edit-
I really don't know, obviously, I'd suggest a dermatologist. She could be allergic to something around the house. My skin is terribly sensitive and will break out in a rash at more or less anything. No one knows what it is, but I haven't seen a dermatologist yet, so that'd be my only suggestion.

I'd guess it was an allergic reaction - I have had them the same as has my son but they usually go a lot quicker. Have you changed washing powder recently? Maybe you should persevere with the doctor...

If the cream your doctor doesn't work, try Aloe Vera. It cleared the eczema on my hand completely.

If it isn't getting any worse or spreading to any other part of her body then she should be OK with a little caladryl lotion and time.
Good luck!
