I am 40 and I bought vichy retinol cream to treat minor facial wrinkles. My face is burning, I have red spots around my eyes, I have rash all over my face and chin. My skin is flaking and feels very dry. I am noticing some wrinkels in the places they never existed. What shall I do?
Treatment is by topical steroids or oral therapy of corticosteroids in severe cases. Topical creams like tacrolimus ointment (Protopic) and pimecrolimus cream (Elidel) are also useful.
If still the symptoms do not improve then please get a clinical examination done by a dermatologist.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
Hello,
About a month ago I noticed red bumps on the side of my scrotum and they also started to appear in my inner thigh as well. I used hydrocortisone cream and it the bumps seemed to get better but what I'm left with now is my entire scrotum and penis are red and a bit sensitive to touch. It's not alot of pain and no itching at all and I have no raised bumps or rash. The skin has just turned red.
The Triamcinolone cream, actually would potentially make that worse. Tacrolimus is more for an eczema rash- so it might be that you need to be checked for a fungal infection instead. Head back to the doctor, and let them know that it's not working- hope you feel better soon!
These include topical, oral, and intralesional corticosteroids, topical agents like Menthol, phenol, pramoxine, capsaicin cream, vitamin D-3 ointment and topical anesthetics, UV light treatment using UV-B or UV-A plus psoralen and topical immunomodulators tacrolimus and pimecrolimus in steroid unresponsive cases.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Thank you - This week I have been using only a homeopathic topical cream called Florasone Cream - Cardiospermum tincture 10% and washing mildly with tepid to cool water with a wash cloth. It has subdued a bit and if it doesn't clear completely then my next course will be the cortisone. Again thank you.

Hi
When topical corticosteroids do not provide relief, sometimes more the doctor may consider prescribing some more potent corticosteroids for some period, in adults with may be needed for adults with eczema on the scalp, limbs, and trunk or those with chronic/ lichenified eczema. Newer two topical eczema drugs like pimecrolimus (Elidel Cream) and tacrolimus (Protopic Ointment) are reserved only for cases where corticosteroids have not been effective.
Prevention is key, but therapeutic treatment of hypertrophic scars and keloids includes occlusive dressings, compression therapy, intralesional corticosteroid injections, cryosurgery, excision, radiation therapy, laser therapy, interferon therapy, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), doxorubicin, bleomycin, verapamil, retinoic acid, imiquimod 5% cream, tamoxifen, tacrolimus, botulinum toxin, and other promising therapies such as transforming growth factor (TGF)–beta3, and recombinant human (rh) interleukin
i wouldnt lower the tacrolimus dose further
Antihistaminics, topical steroids, PUVA therapy, retinoic acid and tacrolimus are the available treatment options for lichen planus.It is best to clarify your doubts by your dermatologist. I hope it helps.
Take care and regards!
re gonna have to go see the doc. You could always try an antifungal cream of some kind but why mess with it. Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist. They should pretty much know. It doesn't appear to be an STD but I certainly am not an expert.
It has progressively got worse and my skin is really sore and inflamed most of the time. I have been prescribed numerous steroid cream but as prolonged use of this kind of cream can thin the skin I tend to apply it for a few weeks and then stop for a couple. However without the steroid cream it is just terrible and I have tried so many different creams which work at the time of applying but by the time ive got through a day the skin is really dry and flaky and I cant stop scratching it.
Doctor told me is like a burning from the sun (heavy winter now in my country and no sun for days) and he gave me a cortisone cream for the face. I used the cream last night but today when i woke up i realize that in my ears, around my lips and mustache i get white flakes that go away when i touch them but keep coming back again soon after. Since last night i started using the cream my skin start peeling off. Is this a Seborrheic Dermatitis? If yes what is causing it?
I went to the pharmacy. The pharmacist said it was cold sores, and recommend me the Zovirax cream. I used it for a few days and the the painful feeling was somewhat suppressed. However, after stopping using the cream, my lips were cracked and dry and tingling. I tried different lip balms, such as Carmex and Burt's Bee, to heal them, but then the burning and itchiness came back! I then start taking lypsine and applying the zovirax cream.
Treatment is by topical steroids or oral therapy of corticosteroids in severe cases. Topical creams like tacrolimus ointment (Protopic) and pimecrolimus cream (Elidel) are also useful. My sincere advice would be to consult a dermatologist.

Hello, my cheeks began to become red a few weeks ago, then a rash began to appear(only on my right cheek first however it soon started to happen on my left), I tried fucidin cream on it because it was similar to a rash I had on my hand a while back, now it would somewhat go away but then it would come back again, now it's worse as my forehead has become extremely irritant, I've tried DiproBase cream on both my cheeks and forehead however they just become scaly.
Topical creams like tacrolimus ointment (Protopic) and pimecrolimus cream (Elidel) are also useful. Till then keep your lips well moisturized.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. Treatment can be started only when the diagnosis is confirmed. I sincerely hope that helps.
Other therapy with topical calcipotriene, tacrolimus 0.1% ointment (under occlusion) and imiquimod 5% cream may also be useful. PUVA and photodynamic therapy is also found to be useful.
You can consult any good dermatologist in your area or in the metro cities and discuss these treatment options with him.
