No.: I would use only topical hydrocortisone on the baby's face.

Dr. Frey is correct. Also, do not use steroids on face for more than 7 days or for more than 10 days on rest of body to avoid complications. Do not use on sores, open wounds or infected sores/cuts..

Not at 0.5%: This is a bit strong for the face (can cause skin thinning and blanching). 0.1% hydrocortisone or 0.05% Desonide is milder better for the face. Be sure to moisturize aggressively (moisturizers and/or wet wraps should have been discussed) and to be aggressive in preventing skin infection. Consider a virtual consult if you have questions. Eczema is very treatable with the right tools!

Yes: Low dose topical steroid creams are safely used on face to treat eczema.

My four year old has always had sensitive skin. At times, she breaks out with a flat pink/red dry looking rash clustered mostly on her face, behind her knees, legs and in the folds of her arms on the front side of her elbows. Could it be pediatric eczema?
