Know a little about “Medicine” | Can I apply hormones on my baby’s face to treat eczema?

My neighbor Xiao Huang's child has turned 100. Recently, many red bumps have appeared on his face. The doctor said it was eczema and prescribed a glucocorticoid cream. Xiao Huang was quite reluctant to apply the hormone on the baby's face. So can it be applied?

Infant eczema is mostly the result of the combined influence of genetic and environmental factors. Topical application of glucocorticoid cream is an important means of treatment. Generally, weak glucocorticoid cream is used, or used with moisturizer or moisturizing cream. At the same time, it can only be used for a short time when the disease is more serious in thin and tender skin areas such as the face and neck, and it is necessary to reduce the dosage or stop using it in time to avoid harm to the baby's health.

It should be noted that glucocorticoid cream is prohibited when the skin is damaged; avoid using it on large areas, and do not use it for a long time, so as to avoid drug dependence.
