Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
As allergic dermatits is allergic in origin it tends to recur once there is exposure to the irritant again. To avoid the relapse of symptoms, you can continue using the cream. It does not have much harmful effects on a long term use.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
