Thanks Doctor. we used 'Triben B' cream. Although it helped in the short term, after stopping the usage, rashes reappeared. And yes, there is itching. Thanks in advance. He is using Aquasol for about 2 weeks.
Brief Answer:
Regarding eczematous dermatitis
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
He seems to have an eczematous condition - lichenoid dermatitis.
Instead of Triben B I suggest him to use a potent topical steroid e.g either Clobetasol propionate 0.05 % and salicylic acid 3-6 %combination ointment e.g Clop-S ointment or Halobetasol propionate 0.05 % and salicylic acid 3-6 %combination ointment e.g Halovate - S ointment, twice daily.
In addition, I suggest him took use an oral antihistamine e.g Cetirizine tab once every evening for symptomatic relief from itching.
These are prescription medications and I advise you to kindly talk to your local practitioner for a prescription of the same.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
