Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Thanks for sharing the picture (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity).

This looks like a case of discoid eczema. Nummular or discoid eczema is a kind of inflammatory skin condition, which can present as dry, fissured, rough patches with itching, with a shape like a coin or annular or discoid. I suggest the following medications.

• Use Momate-F cream (Mometasone and Fusidic Acid) and Cetaphil moisturizing cream. Mix both creams in a 1:1 ratio and apply twice a day to the affected area.
• Take tablet Bilast 20 mg (Bilastine) once a day.

Review after two weeks.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
