Asthma is a breathing problem, not a skin problem.

The condition you are likely referring to is "eczema", a type of dematitis, where the skin becomes irritated, red, dry, itchy, or flaky, usually due to Allergies. A similar but different condition is called psoriasis.

Is a labrador suitable for a child with asthma?

I wouldn't recommend a lab for a child who has asthma only because labs shed a lot. I have a cousin who has bad asthma and he cannot be around my labrador. I would recommend a dog that won't shed such as a Bernese Mountain dog. They do not shed and the oils on their skin will not affect someone with asthma.

Are Corticosteroids typically prescribed by physicians to treat medical conditions like asthma and arthritis?

Yes they are used for Asthma and Arthritis, and a variety of other conditions to. Depending on the condition, severity, cause, etc they may be taken in inhaled form (ie an inhaler, like for asthma) or may be topical (applied to the skin). They come in many doses depending on the reason for giving them. I think they are only available via pharmacist prescription for most treatments but some may be brought over the counter. I take them for asthma; My ex-boyfriend had them for his itchy skin condition.
