Toddler face help

Toddler had fed mark on face on and off for months, then few weeks ago started getting worse, last week or so gradually getting more widespread. Doctor prescribed low steroid dose cream but improves then gets worse again.

Not sure if allergy or eczema? None of other children had this. Feel at a loss and going back to doctor next week. Doesn't bother her at all!

Yes good luck! The biggest challenge I've had is actually keeping the cream on in the first place with a wriggly toddler who likes to rub things off!

It says to be applied 3-4 times a day so I think about half of it daily stays on!

Was it the salcura bioskin that you have been trying?
Glad to hear there has been an improvement whatever it is....

Yes it is, I've also been using the child's farm moisturiser when it's looked dry, that gets wiped off though so I don't think it's stayed on much.

Just to update, this cream has made a huge difference! Had a clear face for a week now. Thank you so much for the suggestion!

Lovely to hear positive feedback! Thank you for letting me know. 😀

My baby had similar on their cheeks - was sorted by switching to aqueous cream for washing (including hair) instead of soaps/ shampoos. In my kids' case it was seborrheic eczema. No further flare ups since babyhood and they are teens now.
