What Medicine To Use For Skin Rash?

doc recommended clonate ointment for a rash i got suddenly.. cant say if it was sunburn as i was out for long drives in the blistering hot sun, or if an insect bit me or if it was an allergy.

after 16 days, the rash seems to have dried up. but not completely. should i use it till its completely gone... will the scars go away.. ??

Thank you for your query .
Clonate is a very potent steroid and long term use is associated with side effects. So do not use it now. Apply a milder antibiotic steroid combination on the area like Fusidic Acid and Hydrocortisone ointment on the area till the rash subsides. In case if it does not improve in a time frame of 2 weeks from now , Please do show a Dermatologist in person.
Please do get back to us in case of any further queries.
