Can I put hydrocortisone cream on my 16-month-old daughter's eczema?

It is recommended to consult a doctor before using hydrocortisone cream on eczema in a 16-month-old child. The doctor can prescribe the appropriate strength of cortisone based on the severity and location of the lesions. They may also recommend a more potent moisturizing cream to minimize the use of cortisone at this age.
