Is Using Steroids for Eczema Normal?

I think either the cream is expired or that you may need a stronger steroid now. Steroid creams are addictive and aren’t the best option, but they get the job done and it clears up quickly in the short term. I would suggest talking to your dermatologist :)

I use hydrocortisone cream over the counter for my hands and other places my eczema is on my body.

It could be expired like the previous commenter said, or maybe too strong for the flare? Aveeno eczema Lotion is good too.

It’s possible it’s expired, or you need a different type, I could be wrong though!
