That's when it's supposed to be used most.
Hi Qwerty,
The recommendations are that it's fine to use in the short-term, but should not be used for more than 5 days if being applied to the face.

I would use it in this situation! As a general rule I try to use the lowest potency that i can get away with to get back to a state that regular emollient use will pretty much keep skin OK. Good luck!
I use/d Daktacort hydrocort/miconazole cream on my face for a while but yes, told not to use long term. Thats for Seb.Dermatitis
