3. 5 hot issues that parents are most concerned about
1.Are hormone creams safe?The safety of short-term use of weakly effective hormones (no more than 2 weeks) has been certified by the FDA, so long-term use in large areas is avoided.
2.Are natural ointments better?The most controversial topic in the past 10 days: A certain Internet celebrity's Lithospermum ointment was found to have illegally added hormones. Natural ≠ safe. You need to look for the "makeup brand" or "drug brand".
3.Does it get worse after taking medication?It may be a secondary infection, and you need to seek medical attention for bacterial culture. If combined with infection, you need to use antibiotic ointment.
4.How to arrange the order of medication?Popular science videos emphasize: Apply ointment (thinly) first, and then apply moisturizer 15 minutes later.
5.When does the dressing need to be changed?If the same ointment is used continuously for 4 weeks and is ineffective, or if side effects such as skin atrophy occur, the plan should be adjusted.
