Hello. Thank you for writing to us at Chat Doctor I suggest a possibility of either seborrhea dermatitis Or atomic dermatitis. In infants, dermatitis may involve the face and neck region as well as nappy area. The cream that you were using is an immunomodulator i.e. pimecrolimus and is effective for milder skin involvement. However, for a flare I usually suggest a moderately potent topical steroid for the initial few days. Steroids are very effective in controlling a flare up of dermatitisOnce the flare subsides, the patient can once again be switched over to milder pimecrolimus. I suggest that you visit a dermatologist in your region for a confirmatory diagnosis as well as appropriate prescription. Regards
