Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I am dr.kakkar (dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have also reviewed the Image
I can see red patches with scale on face and arm. This seems like a dermatitis to me, since it is dry and itchy.
Instead of calasoft lotion, I suggest you to use a topical steroid cream e.g mometasone furoate 0.1% (Elocon cream), twice daily for the red patches.
You may continue with lorinol if the patches are itchy.
