A member asked:
My doctor pres.me topical corticosteroid for some mosquito bites on face.can i put my daily moisturizer in the time i'm not putting the steroid in it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Using moisturizer between the applications of steroid cream should make no difference in the resolution of the mosquito bites. If they do not clear in several day it is possible they might not be bites.

Embarrassing but, ideas for long term anal itch? Tried moisturizer, antifungals and corticosteroids. Disappears occasionally for a day or three then back after a random BM. Itching creates painful cuts that require Bactine to numb. Help.
