My little one has eczema and I’ve been trying a few creams (Epimax ointment, Oilatum) however he has had another flare up. I’m considering using Steroids however want to know from other mums what their experiences are with using steroids for Eczema.
Steroids tend to have a bad rep however is it best to avoid or can they help?

Steroids worked fine for us, they let us get on top of it and then tons of epimax did the rest. They only prescribe really gentle ones for babies. Ours was about 3-4 months old

We had it for a week, cleared it all out and now I use the doublebase ointment
