Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello
I would be pleased to answer your question

yes , you can apply the cream and it will help in reducing her symptoms.
If the cream does not work , she will take a short 1 to 2 week course of steroid prescribed from the Dermatologist or GP. It will help in reducing all her symptoms and cure her .
They will also examine her for other causes of the itching or the breakouts.
Thanks and Take care
