Is Desoximetasone Cream Advisable For An Infant With Eczema On Cheeks?
My 5 month old grandson has eczema on his cheeks , arms and legs. His mother refuses to use anything but healthy products. My wife and I are wondering if desoximetasone cream .025% is safe for a 5moth old. I m leaning to saying no! Could you please give us your professional opinion .
Welcome at HCM i appreciate your health concerns It is more appropriate to get child being examined. As far as dexamethasone cream is concerned it is usually not recommended in infant group. Since it causes skin to thin. Don't use it and see your pediatrician. Hope it helps Regards Dr saad Sultan
