Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to contact dermatitis.

I suggest to avoid using the same boots again.

I also suggest using Calamine lotion for local application.

I suggest to continue the medications as prescribed by your doctor.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
