Cream for baby eczema?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

For baby eczema (atopic dermatitis), the basic approach is this: First, you need to deeply moisturize the skin. At least 2-3 times daily, especially within 3 minutes after a bath, apply a thick moisturizer (fragrance-free and paraben-free). If moisturizer alone isn't enough, mild steroid creams may be used with your doctor's approval—never choose or use these without a prescription. In eczema-prone skin, irritation from diapers or wet wipes is common too; letting the diaper area breathe and cleaning with water only can help. Yellow crusting, oozing, or fever with redness can signal an added infection—see your pediatrician. In short: moisturizer first, doctor-guided treatment second.
