There are always concerns about applying steroid ointment or creams to the face and it should only be prescribed & supervised by a dermatologist. If you're not satisfied with your current status or treatment, I recommend consulting a dermatologist with a special interest in eczema at the department of dermatology at a university hospital near you.
