Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,

The cream you are currently using is a combination of steroid, antifungal and antibiotic.You need to meet your dermatologist who can evaluate and diagnose what kind of rash it is and treat it specifically. As a golden rule for skin care and to treat dark marks - dont forget to wear your sunscreen.

Take Care
