Your baby will be fine. Hydrocortisol creams are a mild form of steroid. One of the side effects that they have, is the thinning of the skin.

Lay off of it for awhile (maybe one or two weeks) and the skin will thicken back up, reducing the appearance of those veins.

In the meantime, use Aquaphor or Vaseline to keep your baby’s face moist at all times. This works wonders.

I currently have a 16-month-old that suffers from eczema. He’s had it since he was two months old. It went from extremely severe, to barely noticeable.

I have the same through using that cream. Its for very short term use. As your baby grows and the skin thickens they should disapear. The Doctors did not tell me anything about it either. Perhaps they don't know.

They will go away as the skin thickens up again I think. I had to use it around my eyes (obviously when I was older than that) and mine went away.

Dont use it on faces unless you absoloutely have to!

you’re baby will be fine, the skin will repair itself just dont use the stuff on those areas (or face in general because of thin skin) anymore if you can avoid.
