Question 6

i was diagnozed with epidermo dermitis localista- i have inflammation rash that itches .prescribed betametazon ointment. will it go away if i apply it?

Accepted Answer

Yes it should: although you already tried travocort cream the Betamethasone has a good chance at helping.  I would take cool showers and use glycerin soaps instead of real soap.  When you get out of the shower you should apply a good moisturizer to your wet skin prior to toweling dry..then towel dry.  then apply the Betamethasone 2-3 times per day for a week or less.  Antihistamine is a must if itching at night.

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would need to be ascertained if it is allergy or something else. if it is allergy, you may need to use different anti-allergy medication. It would be prudent to see your doctor.
