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

What could have caused it if it is post inflammatory?
Can I have sexual intercourse or should I avoid it if it has not settled completely?
We are trying for a baby.does that affect anything?
Can this recur again?
It is possible to find out what was the trigger?
