Hi,
Thank you for your query.
It appears that your son is having atopic dermatitis. As it has improved with the treatment that you are pursuing I suggest that you carry on with this or request your doctor to change to a steroid ointment which may gradually be reduced and stopped.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your son an early recovery.
Regards,
