For steroid cream, avoid prolonged usage on the same area. So stop using if pd prescribes to stop after x no. of days. So you shd stop using steroid now. As an adult who suffered eczema flare ups fr time to time, I'll tell u that from experience, steroid thins the skin n can cause skin to turn patchy brown if used too long. Furthermore LO's skin is much much much thinner and sensitive. Just make sure you dont use too hot/warm water for LO. Cool water will soothe whereas hot/warm water worsens eczema.
