Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I am dr.kakkar (dermatologist).
I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.
You may use a moderately potent topical steroid cream e.g either mometasone furoate 0.1% cream or flutivate propionate 0.05% cream or betamethasone valerate 0.1% cream, twice daily for a week. That should make it fine.
