Suggest Remedy For Rash

My stomach has a rash that is about the size of a cornflake. It's dark in color and tends to get very dry and flakey if I don't put something on it. Seems to be getting bigger but there is no pain, puss, or itching. Lately I've been putting cocoa butter and aloe vera on it. Once I do that it goes back to being dried up. Help...it's been a little over a week now.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

It seems to be discoid eczema. I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily along with frequent and regular application of a moisturizing cream.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
