What should i do if i have an allergic reaction to a cream?

Dr. Michael Zacharisen answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Stop using cream: The most important treatment for medication allergy is to discontinue using it. This includes stopping the cream. Review the ingredients of the cream with your doctor and he/she will help identify the specific trigger so it can be avoided in the future.
