Does Usage Of Hydrocortisone Help In Treating Red Patches On Skin?
I am 68 years old male. I have a history relating to allergic reaction towards pencillin. Recently I was diagnosed for Urinary tract infection and was prescribed Ciprofloxacin HCL 500 mg twice a day. Now I have an allergic reaction to CIPRO as well because I can see the red circle patches below my fingers and stomach. Also my penis head has become red now. Can I apply hydrocoritsone 1% in penis...is it safe?

HI
WELCOME.
BASED ON THE INFORMATION, IT MIGHT BE ALLERGIC REACTION TO CIPRO. SO INFORM YOUR CONSULTANT. GET YOURSELF EXAMINED AND CONFIRM IT.
STEROIDS ARE HELPFUL BUT WITHOUT EXAMINING THE LESION I WOULD NOT SUGGEST YOU TO USE IT ON YOUR OWN.
YOU CAN APPLY CALAMINE LOTION.
TAKE CARE
