Baby skin trouble

Baobao started having little pimples starting from 3 or 4 weeks old, and they got worse around week 5. We took him to see his doctor who said he also has baby eczema. His face has reddish bumps and also down his neck and upper back/chest. We put on special lotion and it seems to be getting better.

Recently the skin under his eyebrows also got yellowish and "crusty". It turns out that this is a variation of cradle cap. We were told to put 1% hydrocortisone cream on it, and it looks a lot better today.
