Question
A two-and-a-half-month-old baby has eczema on the face, around the mouth, ears, corners of the eyes, and head that recurs. Initially, a certain ointment was effective, but after several applications, the effect weakened. Now, several bottles of the ointment have been used without any effect. Does the ointment contain hormones? Are there harmful effects from overuse?
Answer
In such cases, generally speaking, medication can be continued to stabilize the condition. Depending on the specific situation, consider using eczema cream to improve the condition. It should be avoided to eat foods containing allergenic proteins such as milk and eggs. If breastfed, the mother should also avoid spicy and irritating foods, eat more light foods, and drink more water.
