Can Eumosone Cream Be Used To Treat Eczema In A 3 Month Old Baby?

My 3 month old daughter has eczema on her chest and below her chin. I have been using cetaphil lotion. Dr has prescribed eumosone cream to be used sparingly for 2 days by mixing with cetaphil lotion. Hope it will not cause harm as eumosone is a steroid. Have read some articles that usage of eumosone can cause side effects in babies like growth defects etc. Is it fine if I apply it sparingly with cetaphil so that the redness (eczema) would be reduced. Kindly advise. Thanks and Regards, ssg
