Steroids for eczema?

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?
