Suggest remedy for a strange rash
Patient: I have a strange rash that has come and gone in the last few months, but now it seems to be staying, spreading and evolving. It has turned some spots on my shoulder white and is mildly itchy. I went to see my nurse practitioner and she told me not to worry about it, but it has gotten worse since I last saw her, last Friday. Please help me in finding out what this thing is! Doctor: Hi.As per your case history you are having allergic dermatitis.My treatment advice is – 1. Avoid using any new products like soap or perfume.2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like fusiderm-B cream twice daily on it.3. Take an antihistamine like levocetirizine for 7-10days .4. Other treatment options are oral steroid and hydroxyzine given only after consulting a dermatologist.Thanks.Dr.Harshit Bhachech.MBBS, DDVL.
