The strength chosen depends on the child\u2019s age, the part of the body being treated, and how severe the eczema is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-default\">\n<li><strong>Mild<\/strong> steroids are used on delicate areas such as the face, neck and skin folds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Moderate<\/strong> steroids are used on larger or thicker areas of skin, such as the arms and legs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Potent<\/strong> steroids are reserved for small areas of thickened or resistant skin and are used only under medical supervision.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The strengths are not evenly spaced: moderate steroids are about twice as strong as mild ones, but potent steroids can be more than ten times stronger than mild creams.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The percentage label printed on the product does not indicate how strong the steroid is, so always follow the advice of your doctor or pharmacist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-karopharma-accordion\"><summary><h2 class=\"accordion-title\">What\u2019s a fingertip unit for

class=\"wp-block-list is-style-default\">\n<li>Steroid creams will not always thin the skin when used in the correct way.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The key is to follow professional advice on strength, area and duration of use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Used properly, steroids reduce inflammation and prevent worsening of eczema.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Regular review with a doctor or pharmacist helps ensure safe and
