View allI'm really worried because my 4-month-old baby has such dry skin, even after using a moisturizer twice a day. I'm currently using Himalaya cream, but it's like his skin is still dry. There's also some peeling under his chin. A doctor recommended Desosoft cream, and we've been using it for 10 days, but nothing's changed. Could you suggest a cream or something else that might help get his skin back to normal?
I recommend trying a gentle and effective moisturizer like Cetaphil Restoraderm Eczema Calming Body Moisturizer. Apply this moisturizer twice a day on the affected areas, especially on the chin where the skin is peeling. Additionally, make sure to keep your baby well-hydrated by giving him plenty of fluids throughout the day.

I'm dealing with eczema and I've been using luliconazole for it. I'm concerned about whether it's a topical steroid cream and if this could be harmful to my skin. I've also heard that steroids might increase the risk of lymphoma. Could you help clarify this for me?
Luliconazole is not a steroid cream, it is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal skin infections. It is generally safe for use on the skin and does not carry the same risks as topical steroid creams. However, like any medication, it may cause side effects such as skin irritation or redness at the application site. If you have concerns about using topical steroids for eczema, you can discuss alternative treatment options with your healthcare provider.
