Hi,
Lobate cream contains strong steroid ..clobetasol propionate. It causes many side effects after long term application like atrophy, depigmentation, telangiactesia,stretch marks,acneform eruptions...etc. So, it is wise to avoid it. You may use mild steroid like mometasone. Tacrolimus and pimecrolimus are nonsteroidal cream which are also effective in atopic dermatitis.
Hope this helps.
