Is It Necessary To Apply Fluticasone Cream For Discoloration Of Skin?

default
Posted on Wed, 19 Nov 2014
Question: Hello Dr XXXXXXX

The discolouration is better now but still there. I haven't applied any fluticasone cream as you advised solely because I can't get it over the counter. I have to go to my general practitioner and I have not done that.

Is that a problem if I dont apply the cream. Will there be a long lasting problem?

There is no itching or discharge and no pain. Can I also ask. You mentioned that it was post inflammatory process what could have caused it?
