A member asked:
What kinds of cream can be prescribed for children wit severe eczema?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
ECZEMA: Eczema becomes severe if no moisturizer is applied on the skin plus steroid cream. Mild Hydrocortisone 2percent cream is good for the very young kids and stronger steroids for the older children.

Eczema: The most important cream for eczema is a moisturizing cream. Steroids should only be used for flares. Keep the skin very heavily moisturized and most eczema is more manageable.
