Suggest Remedy For Red Bump On Arm After Doing Salt And Ice Challenge
Hi I recently did the salt and ice challenge and I didnt know that it would leave a big red bump on my arm and I can t feel anything in that spot. I have been putting on Vaseline and aloe and it isn t as red as it was a while ago... Is there anything else I can do to help it heal faster?
My treatment advice is: 1. Do not scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition. 2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like Fusiderm-B cream twice daily on it. 3. Take an antihistamine medication like Levocetirizine twice daily for 7 to 10 days. 4. Other treatment options are oral steroid like prednisone or betamethasone taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Harshit Bhachech
