Suggest Suitable Medication For Eczema

Hi, my 8 month-old baby son is diagnosed with eczema and for the past couple of months he developed red rash under his chin & cheek (close to his ear). He's constantly scratching them. Is Daktacort ok for his age & to be applied on his chin area & cheek? Thank you.

Hi,
It is not advisable to go for self medication or self diagnosis of 8 month child.
It requires proper diagnosis and treatment.
Steroid cream is not advisable at this age unless advised by dermatologist.
Consult dermatologist and go for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Ok and take care.
