Hi,
It looks like
eczema -
contact dermatitis.
Eczema outbreaks are often triggered by certain foods, deficiencies, cosmetics, jewelery or environmental conditions.
Fragrant soaps, lotions with alcohol and perfumes, excessively dry air, itchy woolen clothing, dust mites, mildew, mold, pollen, dander, latex, certain jewelry and tobacco smoke are some of the most common triggers.
Continue using
Dermovate craem to affected area. But as there is discharge from
rash, indicative of secondary bacterial infection;you will need
dermatologist appointment.
Doctor might prescribe you cream containing both
steroid and antibiotics. If severe infection present, then oral antibiotic may be required.
Along with drugs take care of following things.
1]. Not to spend time in an excessively dry environment.
2]. Bathe regularly, but not excessively, and use lukewarm water instead of hot or cold water.
3]. Avoid using harsh soaps as they aggravate the skin and also cause further dryness
4]. Oatmeal is useful for eczema treatment both as an alternative to soap and also for baths. Have an oatmeal bath, with oatmeal powder added to your bath water before a soak.
5]. Avoid wearing tight and restrictive clothing. Cotton is a much better option.
6]. As with all other skin conditions restrict your intake of any processed or refined foods and junk foods.
Smoking should also be avoided.
Take care.
Regards,
Dr. Neelam.
