Catherine is almost a 7 year old girl that has been off Topical Steroid Creams and Protopic for six years. Catherine had eczema since she was 2 months and she was prescribed with potent steroid creams continuously for one year. Then, she stopped responding to the medicines and her skin got worse. She was suffering from Steroid Induced Eczema, not real eczema. That's the reason why we stopped steroids by October of 2013.

I posted my concern on a TSW forum, and many of the responses were to let it dry. Someone said that I should be worried only if the discharge was opaque yellow. Others recommended me to err in the side of caution and take her to the doctor. Since she didn't have fever or any other symptom we didn't take her to the doctor and we didn't put anything on it. Three days later, the oozing dried up by itself.
