Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

By your description I suggest that you stop applying the ointments mentioned by you as prolonged use of the steroid cream will prevent the dermatologist from giving you a right opinion. If there is no improvement over the next week or two it will be better to consult a dermatologist and proceed accordingly. Without a detailed examination it is not possible to give a guidance.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction. Please feel free to revert back in case you need any clarifications or if you would like to share more facts.

Wishing your son an early recovery.

Regards,
