Hydrocortisone: For most cases of allergic dermatitis, Hydrocortisone works fine. Don't understimate the power of petroleum jelly, however. This can work wonders both to protect the skin and trap moisture in.

Depends: It depends on the cause of dermatitis. If it is infectious, you would need antibiotics. If it is allergic, steroid cream would be useful. Note that steroid treatment would make infectious dermatitis worse. If simple Vaseline does not help,it would be prudent to talk to your doctor. Have a healthy diet, exercise, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, and get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
