Hi, for eczema, topical steroid cream application needed for two to three weeks. Hydrocortisone cream is good one. Side effects of steroid like thinning of skin, bone weakness , vitamin D deficiency etc should be explained as this may be needed more than one times.
Apply lipid based ointment as moisturizer like Dermive lotion twice a day.
Always maintain moisture by applying non fragrant lotion like Eucerin, Cerave, Aquaphor, Cetaphil.
No hot water bath.
Hope that relieves.
