Acid Mantle (Cream Mixed with Hydrocortisone) - Is It Safe?

I have a 15 month old son who has extremely sensitive skin and had horrible ezcema (sp?) since he was an infant. 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...

6 Month Old with Penile Adhesion

At about 2 months of age, I noticed that my son had a tiny penile adhesion. The dr. said to put some hydrocortisone on it for two weeks and it should go away. At his 4 month appt, they said it probably wouldn't go away on it's own now and that he should see a pediatric urologist. I took him to the urologist last week and he wants to give him anesthesia and then take care of it. My husband and I are worried about giving him the anesthesia at such a young age. I've read a lot of things on the internet and it sounds like sometimes these...

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?
