Hi,

I have read your query.

You should stop using all creams and oral medicines, you just need all this to your treating doctor so that he may change your medicines. A lot of other useful medicines are there which your doctor would prescribe you. I happens because one of the medicines you are taking causing reaction to your body.

Do not take medicines by your own without consulting any doctor.

I hope you have get your answer.

Thanks.
