Detailed Answer:
Hello again.

No problem madam.

Since dermatitis was the initial diagnosis and the rash responded to the steroids with fading away of the color then you should continue it for another 10 days. If the rash does not resolve then you should consult your dermatologist or GP for an alternate diagnosis. Lymph nodes should be examined and if there is a rebound flare then blood counts and coagulation profile should also be checked.

Let me know if you have any query

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
