Locoid Lipocream For Pityriasis Abla On Arms Hasn't Helped, Have Eczema, Asthma Also. Any Treatment ?
I have pityriasis abla on my arms now for about two years. I have gone to the dermatologist and they prescribed me locoid lipocream but I feel that it hasnt helped. I have eczema and asthma which I know are associated with this disease. But I m wondering, since I had scabies as a baby, does it have to do with my skin now? And, can this disease spread down my arms further or what other treatments can I do?
