Baby eczema 5 month olds
My 5 month old son have eczema since birth. Would you recommend homeopathy treatment or allopathy treatment? Right now we are using topical steroids which doing well but as soon as we take a break the rebound effects are very strong. I can't keep going with the steroids forever and need to know will my 5 month old will ever get better? My husband have some type of eczema on his hand since the COVID. Will do the allergy test on him to see what changed but he never had eczema before the COVID. My baby is only 5 months and want to know should I keep maintaining with the steroids and wait until he grow out of it? So should I seek for homeopathy medicine for permanent cure if there is one.

Hello, good to connect with you today
Since we practice allopathy, we won’t have any expertise to comment on other branches of medicine
Yes topical steroids is the recommended treatment for eczema and yes it takes a little longer time to heal it.
I advise you not to stop the treatment abruptly which in your case has resulted in stronger rebounds
Please consult a pediatric dermatologist and follow all the instructions for permanent cure
