Can Corisone And Viaderm Cream Be Applied For Suspected Ringworm Patches With History Of Being On Treatment For Eczema?
I have a 3yr old son who has recurring excema and is being treated for this. He has recently been to Samoa and has some raised excema on his body. One looks similar to ringworm but only one patch.
I have some cortisone cream and also Viaderm cream and wondered whether I could use these on the suspect patches?
Hi Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day
Its always advisable to treat the skin condition after arriving at correct diagnosis. Diagnosis of skin condition requires good visual examination. Blind application of steroid containing ointment is not dvisable as it may alter morphology. Kindly consult Dermatologist
