Baby Eczema

by Mommy of 2

My doctor recently prescribed me cortisone cream for my 4 month old daughter's eczema on her cheek. He did not tell me of the negative side effects, all the pharmacist said was to only use it once a day until it goes away. All of my friends and family have warned me about the cream, so I am hoping you will be able to tell me of some herbal cream or something else I can do to prevent it.

I have some special 'soap' with pumpkin in it and some 'body butter' for eczema (non scented) from Rocky Mountain Soaps Company. I have been using it, and the eczema still comes back on her cheek, just in one spot, but it gets bad, very red, bumpy, then pusses, and sometimes bleeds of she scratches it.

Please enlighten me on something better I can use!

Thank-you so much in advance!
