What Causes Red Rashes On The Abdomen?
Hello , i m having red rashes on my stomach and sides, after consulting a dermatologist he asked me to take zincovit tablets indicating low zinc in my body. Also asked me to use novale soap on it. I don t see many changes even though the treatment is being followed for more than a month. Apart from that , On a daily basis i consume banocide forte and ascoril syrup for a weezhing problem i have , sometimes i take medrol 4mg along with it when it gets severe. Does this have any reason behind the red rashes or is there another diagnosis?

Hi,
You seem to have a fungal infection along the waistline. I suggest you use an OTC topical antifungal e.g. Clotrimazole cream or Miconazole Nitrate cream. In addition, I suggest you take an oral antihistamine e.g. Cetirizine. Oral Medrol is a steroid and though it may provide symptomatic relief it would encourage fungal infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
