What is the treatment for skin rash?
Patient: i have this rash around my knuckles that burns when something touches it. i have had it for three days now. water lotion and touch makes it burn more. now it is starting to itch. what could it be? i may have touched some mold when i was painting in a house. do you think that could cause the rash Doctor: Hi,It may be insect bite dermatitis. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.I would suggest.... - oral antibiotic for one week- oral steroid in tapering dose- antihistaminics - apply mild steroid with antibiotic cream Take rest. Avoid soap bath. It may recover in a week or two.I hope this would help you.Thanks. Dr. Ilyas Patel MD
