Hello mam, yes soframycin is good enough but don't use on large areas as excessive absorption is not good for a baby. For face or any small patches, you can use but large areas don't use a lot.

No I didnot prefer soframycin for contact dermatitis. Please remove the causative agent. Keep skin moisturtized by like vaselineand consult to pediatrician for proper management.
