I have applied candid for more than three weeks but no improvement. My doc suggested eumosone m cream thrice a day. This is a steroid. Should I apply steroid on such a small baby. XXXX
Brief Answer:
yes you can
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using health care magic.
Emusone m is containing topical steroids. Topical steroids do not have side effects of the oral steroids.
In cases of resistant fungal infection they are required for speedy recovery. They can be safely used in very young infants also.
So do not worry. Its use is safe and effective.
I hope I have helped you.
