Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
It seems she has developed irritant contact dermatitis due to hair removal cream.
I would suggest you consult a dermatologist for proper management. Usually a short course of oral antibiotics and analgesics is recommended. Oral corticosteroids may be added as required. Apply a cream containing mupirocin for 3 days followed by a cream containing mometasone and fusidic acid twice a day over affected areas for atleast 5 days. Take antihistaminics for itching as required.
Hope this will take care of your issue.
Wish you best of health.
Thank you
Dr Hardik Pitroda
