walsam, Eczema regardless any where on the face and body indicates that you have very dry skin there, and it needs to be kept moist , you need to use good emollient like E45 cream or something equivalent.
yes you should not be using the steriod on the face for more than 2 weeks, and to get another review done on the skin to see whether you need something else.\
hope this helps.
thanks
