Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I do understand your concern.

I have reviewed the attached photographs (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It is not cancer. It looks like an infected eczematous rash. I would recommend you take tablet Fexofenadine 180 milligrams twice daily, tablet Cefixime 200 milligrams twice daily for five days, and apply a cream containing a combination of Mometasone and Fusidic acid on the affected areas twice daily for ten days. Continue this for ten days and revert.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Yes, you can take tablet Deflazacort 6 milligrams, two tablets once daily for another 10 days. Instead of Betaderm (Betamethasone) cream, you can go for Momate cream (Mometasone) twice daily.

Once more, thank you for allowing us to be of service to you.

Thank you.

I do understand your concern.

Yes, you can go for a few days of Deflazacort, three tablets a day. It will speed up the recovery. A short course of oral steroids will not cause any side effects. If you do not get Mometasone (Momate cream), you can go for Clobetasol propionate cream or Betamethasone cream also.

I hope this answers your concern.

Thank you.

Hi,

I do understand your concern.

Deflazacort can cause gastritis and acidity. That is why you are experiencing abdominal pain and diarrhea. Take an antacid medicine like Pantoprazole or Omeprazole before breakfast. Take Deflazacort after breakfast. This will relieve your problem.

I hope this helps.

Please feel free to reach out in case of further queries.

Thank you.
