Hi,

Withdrawal of the Funbact-A causing burning and irritation. It is a steroid preparation and sudden stopping may cause it.
Try it this way:
- Find out the exact allergen that causes it by allergy screening test.
- Avoid the allergen (in form of cosmetics, any edibles like pulses, milk or use of toiletries)
- Wean the ointment off gradually, by diluting it progressively over few weeks, by the moisturiser as of in care preparation suggested by your dermatologist.
- After stopping it meticulous skin care with the moisturiser and skin care applications.
- Vitamin E, C and A are helpful. Take them orally.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
