Dear Heba, Thank you for your question. The strength and duration of prescribed topical steroids depends on the part of the body and age. Generally speaking 1% hydrocortisone cream and ointment are safe even in your children on face and skin folds as instructed by your dermatologist. I hope this is ...

Dear Paul, I am so sorry to hear about your skin problem. I think you should have a shower and/or bath. Use Aveeno body wash or Oilatum shower gel for shower and Cetraben bath emollient addictive. You can also wash with Epaderm cream as a shower gel substitute. You need to see a dermatologist to hav...

But it is too potent for face and skin folds. It is also too strong for a child. I hope this is helpful. Best wishes...

Try mild steroid ointment for 2-3 days e.g. eumovate cream for an adult, hydrocortisone 1% for a child or baby. Try to wear loose cotton or silk clothes. I hope this is helpf...
