Hi..

I understand your concern. As rightly told by your dermatologist, the acne and redness is because of long term application of steroid cream on face. The child might have also developed a fungal infection secondary to its use. To reverse this it takes some time and patience. Continue candid cream as per instructions. In the mean time, the child might get recurrences due to the steroid dependence. But do not panic! On slow withdrawal of steroid cream, the skin will be back to normal.
