When a moisturizer and a topical steroid are applied together, which should be applied first?
Apply the moisturizer with a larger application area first, and then apply the topical steroid to only areas affected with disease, such as eczema.
If the topical steroid is applied only to the affected area and then the moisturizer is applied, side effects may occur because the topical steroid is spread to areas that do not need to be applied.
