Infant Eczema: Causes and Cures

My eight-month-old daughter has eczema, so she gets itchy red patches mostly on her cheeks, neck, and the creases of her elbows and knees. Her doctor prescribed a steroid cream, which helps a lot, but I hate using it on her. We have switched to a hypo-allergenic formula and tried all sorts of other lotions too. I would like to get to the source of this problem (possibly an allergy), but we haven't been able to pinpoint any singular cause. I would also prefer natural treatments if I can find something that's effective. Any advice?
