Irritant contact dermatitis due to TCA
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM..
I read history and saw the photos you posted...
I can understand your concern for irritation,burning and pain. And your husband has bruise and erosion.
Actually TCA has done its work. It has done irritation..may be called irritant contact dermatitis. You do not worry at all. Have patience.
He has to protect the area from secondary infection. So, I would recommend oral antibiotic for one week like CEPHALAXIN 500 mg twice a day for 5 days , anti inflammatory drugs and topical antibiotic like sisomycine cream. Avoid soap bath. Cleanse the area with diluted Dettol liq. He should take rest for a week.
I hope this would help him. He will recover soon. If the moles are not removed completely,you consult the dermatologist again. He may go for other method to remove the moles..like electrocautery.
If you have query any more..you are welcome.
Thanks..
Dr. Ilyas Patel MD
