Can babies use Desonide cream? What are the precautions when using Desonide cream?

Although desonide cream is a hormone drug, it is weak and generally does not affect the health of children, so it can be used safely. Generally, desonide cream can cure skin eczema after two to six weeks of use. It should be noted that desonide cream should be discontinued gradually.

For children who are still being treated, their bodies are still very delicate, so their tender skin is easily infected by bacteria, which can induce the appearance of some skin diseases, such as eczema. So, can babies use ointment such as desonide cream? Let's find out below!

Desonide cream is a hormone ointment, but it is a weak hormone, so it is relatively safe to use on children. If the baby has repeated attacks of eczema and the non-hormonal ointments used are not effective, you may consider choosing hormone ointments for treatment. For example, for head and facial eczema, you can choose the weak hormone desonide, which is generally used for about 2 to 6 weeks and is relatively safe.

In addition, it should be noted that when using hormone ointment, it must be applied in sufficient amount and in moderation. If the effect is good after application, you can gradually reduce the dosage. However, you should also be careful not to use it too quickly and then stop it too quickly, as this can easily lead to a rebound reaction. You can gradually reduce the dosage. According to the changes in the baby's condition, if the effect is very good, you can gradually reduce the dosage every other day. This is very safe for the baby.

The skin on a child's head and face, especially the facial skin, is very delicate. There is no problem in using hormone ointments, especially weak hormones, such as desonide cream and other similar weak hormones. You can also choose hydrocortisone ointment, which is also very safe to treat children's head and facial eczema.

It should be noted that because the ratio of children's body surface area to body weight is undoubtedly much larger than that of adults, it is easy to induce some adverse symptoms. If children choose such drug treatment, they should choose the lowest dose possible, shorten the medication time and reduce the rash area of ​​the drug under the premise of effective treatment. This can avoid the occurrence of some adverse reactions.
