Eczema: Usage of this potent steroid for only two days should not present a problem. However, long term usage may cause thinning of the facial skin aming other problems.

Steroids and stomac : For this amount and this amount of time, i would say do not worry. But long periods of topical steroids would lead to thinning of the skin and risk of fungal infection. But intermittently, from time to time , using these medications for a few days is ok.
