Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.

skin lesions are difficult to treat without actually seeing them. The exact location on the back, is also important to know as treatment and cause differs for lesions on different body areas.

I suggest you to apply dermarest (available OTC) and hydrocortisone (available OTC) both 2 times a day on the lesion. Also take Claritin tablet once daily.

Please consult a dermatologist if the above treatment regimen does not work any more.

Hope I answered all of your questions. In future, if you need further, detailed and quick assistance on any health issue, feel free to click on 'Ask me a question' directly from my profile. Have a wonderful time ahead.
