Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history of exfoliation, my treatment advice is -
1. Avoid using soap and don't apply any antiseptic lotion like Dettol.
2. Apply an emollient cream like Enmoist cream twice daily on it.
3. Take a folic acid plus B12 supplement once daily for 3 months.
4. Other treatment options are topical steroid and oral multivitamins taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech.
