Severely Dry Skin

My 2 month old has VERY dry skin. It's gotten worse over the past 2 days. It's extremely red and flaking all over his back, neck and stomach. He actually screams when you touch him!

Hydrocortisone Cream and 6 Month Olds Face

My ped. put my son on perscription Hydrocortisone cream a few weeks ago for red spots, dry spots on his face. I have had skin issues all my life and have always been told not to use HC for a long period of time. I try to not use the cream all the time, so I apply when he has the spots and when they go away I stop, BUT they come back a day or two later. Should I stop using this and find something else, call the doctor? Or just use it?? Any suggestions?
