Hello,
Thank You for trusting HealthcareMagic
You can use over the counter Hydroxyzine 2.5% ointment for faster healing.
Meanwhile, continue using Eucerin cream and Hydroxyzine.
You can also use coconut oil on affected area.It has excellent moisturizing properties.
If symptoms do not subside in a week, follow-up with your Primary care Provider/ dermatologist for a re-evaluation of diagnosis or need for treatment with stronger steroids.
