Hi, my doctor advised us to lower the dosage of the steroid once there's an improvement and taper off its use. This is also what's advised in the leaflet in the over the counter steroids cream that i used previously. Maybe you can consider applying it less frequently for another 2 rounds and then stop. I am fearful of overdose of steroid as it may cause steroid withdrawal symptoms. http://itsan.org/what-is-rss/ My child also has the brown patches, I was told by some naturopaths that it's caused by the steroid cream and on the other hand, dermatologist told me that it's caused by the eczema itself. My child's brown spots are slowly fading away.
