Dermatologist,  's  Response

Hi,

I can understand your concern and after reading the query it appears that your wife has developed allergic dermatitis due the cream.

I suggest you to meet a dermatologist to for proper therapy. In between you should avoid contact of dust to the area properly. If I were your dermatologist then presumptively would have preferred to apply fluticasone cream. You can take an antihistamine such as loratadine for twice a day if itching is present.

Do not try to pinch, pop or squeeze the area as it may cause secondary infection of the area. I suggest you to use proper sun protection. This may take few weeks of the time to resolve your problem so have patience.

Take care
