Can Flutivate Cream Be Applied On A Baby?

Hi Doctor, shall I use flutivate cream for my 1 year baby? She is having rashes in her legs and when we consulted the doctor he told that because of milk only this kind of allergy will come. And also he prescribed flutivate cream.. When I check the internet it shows some side effect and also mentioned not used for children (Fluticasone Propionate). So, I m in confusion. Please clear it.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for posting on HealthCareMagic. Flutivate contains a steroid called fluticasone which is intended to reduce an inflammatory allergic manifestation as exhibited by the rashes. Apply it as per your doctor's advice. It is hard to comment without looking at the rashes but might be needed. It can be used in children on doctor's advice and so you need not worry.
Such allergies may occur not only in response to milk but also practically anything that we are exposed to, things like dust, pollens etc.
If your doctor advises milk free diet, you can include formula like Zerolac. But after semisolids have been introduced in the diet, milk can be avoided anyway.

Hope that helps. Feel free to revert back in case of further queries if any.
