Mummies who use steroid cream for LO eczema. Do u continue using the cream till all redness gone? LO skin is better now aft applying the steroid cream and physiogel AI cream but there are some redness still. Am thinking should I contd or stop and jus apply AI cream. There are some brown patches on her arms. Is this normal and will it go away?

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. Try Jo Lauren's miracle balm for 'maintenance'. hope she is better!
