Baby Skin Problem

I took my 6week old to the doctors and was told she has baby acne, she also had a rash at the back of her neck, I was told to buy Hydrocortisone 1% and use, if her face got bad I could use a little on her cheeks which I did, now I think her cheeks and face looks worse than ever, her neck did clear up. I have stopped using everything now, her face feels really dry, scaly and I have satrted putting vaseline which is now peeling the dry areas. I worried if it may be something other than just acne, should I just wait it out.

We found out that it was mostly caused by an allergy to pet dander so we had to give up our pug. Well, we have been using a prescription cream on him called A-Mantle since he was about 6 months old that our Pediatric Allergist prescribed (who is associated with CHOP). This cream is a hydrocortisone mixed with some other type of cream. We use it on him practically every single day (since he still has ezcema). I specifically...

Baby Not Eating Well

A little history on my 14 month old daughter. She's always been a funny picky eater. Hard to feed and hard to find what she'll eat. She's always been a discontented baby that was fussy.

After two bites of one type she'll cry. At one feeding I've tried up to 6 different foods that she used to like. I know that they go through phases when they don't eat much. but I...

Hydrocortisone Cream and 6 Month Olds Face

My ped. put my son on perscription Hydrocortisone cream a few weeks ago for red spots, dry spots on his face. I have had skin issues all my life and have always been told not to use HC for a long period of time. I try to not use the cream all the time, so I apply when he has the spots and when they go away I stop, BUT they come back a day or two later. Should I stop using this and find something else, call the doctor? Or just use it?? Any suggestions?
