Suffering From Contact Dermatitis On Scrotum And Penis. Have Nerve Irritation Due To The Overuse Of Steroid Creams. Can I Use Lactic Acid Based Cream?
Dear I want to use a lactic acid 5% cream with urea on my scrotum and penis skin(on a thin skin under the head).In the past i was using strong steroids creams on the same skin for a problem of contact dermatitis .Now my skin has become more thin and i have a problem of nerve irritation there.So i have listen that a lactic acid based cream will reverse my skin back and will decrease the hypersensitivity of nerves.Would this cream will be best on genital area or not? Kindly give me your opinion.Thankyou. Regards,
Hello, Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. Lactic acid may not be a good option over genital areas. You should always show the lesion to a dermatologist before applying medical creams over sensitive areas. If needed you may consider applying lacto calamine lotion over the area. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
