Dermatologist,  's  Response
hi,
thank you for putting up your query on HCM.
as per your history, you have allergic dermatitis.
-- as you already applying Vicks, I would recommend you not to do so, as it may aggravate it and may also cause hyperpigmentation.
-- I would recommend you to apply mild corticosteroid cream like Mometasone furoate(0.1%) cream twice a day for a week.
-- you may also take tab levocetrizine once a day, if itching is present.
-- after redness is gone, you may use topical retino a (0.05%) at night time for half an hour.
wishing you healthy skin.
thank you
