Hello doctor,

Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
I am very sorry about your medical condition, and I am glad that you are paying attention to changes in your body system. But do not worry, I am here to take care of you.
Regarding your symptoms, I understand how frustrating it must be for you that your skin lesion has not cleared completely following treatment. Let us take a look at this professionally. Based on the history sent, I believe you have developed contact dermatitis based on the picture sent. This is an inflammation of the skin caused by chemical irritants, cosmetic changes, poison flowers, or environmental factors.
I can see you are using some medications for the skin condition, which is not responding to treatment. Although when you use them, they will reduce symptoms like itching, the disease remains. So I suggest you use the following after doing the following test: do a skin scraping test and reply.
Use topical Tacrolimus 0.2 percent cream or Topical Clobetasol 0.05 percent ointment once daily (qd) or topical Hydrocortisone 0.2 percent cream twice daily (bid) for one month. Reply if you have more concerns or questions by scheduling a direct appointment or follow-up via chat, phone, or video consultation.
I hope you are satisfied with my answer.
Thank you.
