Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi.
As per your case history you are having allergic dermatitis.
My treatment advice -
1. Avoid using any new products like soap or perfume as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild topical steroid lotion like beclomethasone lotion twice daily on affected skin.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
4. Other treatment options are oral steroids like prednisone or betamethasone taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
