Suggest Treatment For An Itchy Rash On The Wrist

I had my right wrist replaced on 7-8-16. On the 26th I developed whelps, rash and itching like crazy. Nothing new in meds., diet, laundry powder, soap etc. Started prednisolone pack yesterday but still itching like crazy. Could this be my body rejecting implant?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to a contact dermatitis.

I suggest using Hydrocortisone cream for local application.

I also suggest to continue using steroids to relieve the itching.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
