Here are some...: Of course, stop its use and report what you observed to the prescribing doctor for further advice. For temporary self-care, keep her palms clean and gingerly apply steroid cream, usually 0.5-1 % hydrocortisone once or twice daily; if not improving as expected in 2-3 days, seek timely attention and further care and counseling.
