I have a 5 mos old with eczema. He has been prescribed a cortisone and Eucerin cream by his Pediatrician. This works fine on rest of his body, but he has an area on his cheek that will not completely heal and when the weather gets cold gets very inflamed and weeps. At it's best it is still red and outline of area can be seen. Our Pediatrician has told us we can not use cortisone on him too often because it thins out the skin. When we do not use cortisone every day. I am concerned about possible scarring in that area and it disturbs me to see it so inflamed and weeping fluid. Is there anything I can use that will not harm his skin or possibly anything natural that can be used in conjunction with cortisone?
Thank You!
