Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Yes, I tend to itch until blood appears.

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It seems to be contact dermatitis. A cream combination of a potent steroid (like Clobetasol) and an antibiotic (like Fusidic acid) will be helpful.

  1. Apply it twice daily for two weeks.
  2. Avoid soap.
  3. Please be sure to apply moisturizer repeatedly.
  4. Tablet Loratadine 10 mg twice daily for two weeks for itching.

Please consult your specialist doctor, talk with them and start taking the medicines with their consent.

Thank you.
