What Causes Itchiness After Applying Picato On Pre-cancer Spots In Chest?

2 questions. I started using Picato on my chest today for pre cancer spots. I applied it approximately 3 hours ago and am already very itchy. Is it ok to use moisturing creams to help with the itching? I applied it with my right hand and washed my hands several times after applying. I just rubbed my eye with my left hand and my eye is burning. Is it possible that 3 hours after application I transferred it to my eye with the opposite hand?

Hi

Picato is known to cause local site itching and moisturing cream can be applied

to relieve the symtoms.

Burning eyes could be due to intense rubbing or could be due to picato as well.

I recommend

To wash your eyes with running water for 3-4 times and it should be subsided.

Regards
