Is it possible to overdose or use too much lotion? i have eczema & use lotion multiple x per day plus steroid cream frequently.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: But the steroid should not be over used. There is method called occlusive dressing. If a particular lesion is bad.....less amount of cream will change it overnight.
