Accepted Answer

See allergist?: I presume that you have already been treated by your GYN but still have not had a satisfactory response. I also assume that you had no response to antifungal treatment either. One possibility may be semen allergy or latex allergy.  Has anyone considered that?  If not applicable to you, perhaps an allergist can assist you in finding the cause.

Question 10

what are the side effects of daily cortisone cream for a baby with severe face eczema?

Accepted Answer

Overuse of...: ...Cortisone creams can cause  thinning of the skin, which sometimes results in permanent stretch marks. Fine blood vessels may swell and become prominent under the skin surface. In rare cases enough cortisone might be absorbed internally to cause growth suppression or adrenal gland suppression. That's why dermatologists use only the mildest steroid creams on babies, and monitor them closely.
