It can be tried in one dose

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and photo.

In my opinion, sapat lotion can be effective in this rash. You can apply it only on rash and wash it after few hours.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
It seems to be psoriasis plaque

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

From the photo and your description, it seems to be psoriatic plaque.

If its not getting better with sapat lotion, then I will suggest that you do not apply anything. Applying too many medicines can make it worse. There are chances of its spreading. If we keep applying medicines when its small, these medicines may lose its efficacy. And we may not have many choices left when its bigger.

You can simply apply Flucort cream, when really needed.
