Question
A four-month-old baby has developed a rash, and we are seeking a treatment medication with lower hormone content.
Answer
Infant eczema is a common allergic skin disease, with its exact cause often difficult to determine. This condition in infancy is known as “cradle cap,” characterized by multiple skin lesions occurring on the face, starting from the cheeks and gradually spreading to the forehead, eyebrows, and scalp, and may recur frequently. In severe cases, eczema may spread to the neck, scapulae, and even the entire body. Short-term use of topical hormone creams does not produce significant side effects. It is recommended to follow the doctor’s guidance, use an appropriate amount of medication, and promptly adjust to non-hormonal topical medications after symptoms improve.
