Is it dangerous for an infant using steroid cream and aquaphor to put hands in her mouth?

My 5 month old daughther gets eczema very badly on her hands and face. My Dr. switched her to Alimentum and prescribed steroid cream. The Alimentum is not controlling it, it comes back if i don%26#039;t apply once a day, although her face is cleared up and only needs the cream once a week or so. The alimentum is agreeing with her, no gassiness or acid reflux anymore. however, i put the steroid cream onher hands at night and i use aquaphor a lot during the day and my daughters hands are always in her mouth. tried covering them, not an option...is it dangerous for the cream and aquaphor to be on her hands that are in her mouth. has anyone tried Nutramigem instead of Alimentum for a situation similar to this.....When its bad on herhands she itches them and they puss and bleed. Thanks|||call the doctor and or the pharmacy for best results.





good luck, that must be very hard for you both.|||I would talk to the doc about it .
