Nipple cream for dry skin?

I got a huge tube of Lansinoh nipple cream when my son was born and only had to use it for a couple of weeks and this stuff is very expensive. Now, my son has very dry skin, red patches on his belly and chest, my doc said it was eczema and to put lotion on him often. I have tried lotion and it doesn't work well, so I was wondering if I could use the nipple cream which is really just medical grade lanolin on him. I figure if it's safe for him to eat since it's used for breastfeeding wouldn't it be safe for his skin?

I wouldn't think it could hurt to try it. The only bad thing is it could stain his clothes so be sure to put an old onesie on him first. That stuff stained my bras big time.
