Suggest Remedies For Dry Scaly Skin Patches On The Face
Hello Sir Good Afternoon! I have been applying Diprovate Plus to my face(before sleep) for the past 18 years. I request you to please suggest me if its safe to continue. When i stop using it for few days, my skin becomes scaly and reddish. Is there a permanent solution for my problem? Please suggest.

Hello,
It may be due to dry skin.
For that you may apply hydrocortisone ointment locally.
For itching you can take tablet loratidine.
Use moisturizer regularly.
Avoid sweating.
Avoid hot and humid environment.
