General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Apply Soframycin cream to the area affected. It will give you soothing relieve. Avoid going outdoors & avoid exposure to the sun. To avoid it from being infected you can take antibiotic like doxycyline(100 mg) twice daily for three days. For pain or hurt you can take a mild analgesic, one SOS when required.

When the skin gets partially healed apply Betnovate C ointment in the area affected only at bed time to help skin get back its color. However, you are suggested to get it examined by a dermatologist, get treated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
