Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
Atopic dermatitis presents as dry scaling patches on the skin of the patient.
Eumosone is a mild potency steroid, clobetasone. It can be safely used on the delicate skin of a baby.
Moisturizing the skin with a good moisturizer is a must for atopics because there skin has a very low water retentive capacity, the water quickly evaporates into the atmosphere.
The dry scaly patches benefit from using a mild steroid like clobetasone. Once the patches resolve, the steroid can be discontinued whereas the moisturizer is continued.
