Low dose steroid : Use only products that are without fragrance on the skin. Apply an Eucerin or Epimax cream several times daily. Avoid immersion of the skin and harsh soap. Apply a thin layer of a low dose steroid cream twice daily to the face for the next 14 days. If there is worsening or no improvement, please see your pediatrician.
