Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should apply mometasone cream.
Mometasone is very effective and safe topical steroid.
But this is available only on prescription.
So you might need to consult dermatologist for this.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your patient. Thanks.
