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.

I accidentally used shampoo (head and shoulders) on my scrotum, thinking it was moisturizer. I left it on overnight and woke up burning. Does not appear to be blistering but is very painful. Im obviously not wanting to see a doctor lol. Burn creams?

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.
