What Products Work Best for 9 Month Old with Eczema and Dermatitis

My 9 month old has battled Eczema since the day he was born and I have tried EVERYTHING over the counter with very little success. I am now using prescription Hydrocortisone 2.5% and am still not having luck getting it to go away, not to mention that I can't use it on his face. I am also struggling with his fingers and chin right now because he is teething and sucks his fingers as comfort, so his little chin and fingers are red and chapped from all the moisture. Any products that you would recommend?

Hydrocortisone Cream and 6 Month Olds Face

My ped. put my son on perscription Hydrocortisone cream a few weeks ago for red spots, dry spots on his face. I have had skin issues all my life and have always been told not to use HC for a long period of time. I try to not use the cream all the time, so I apply when he has the spots and when they go away I stop, BUT they come back a day or two later. Should I stop using this and find something else, call the doctor? Or just use it?? Any suggestions?
