I just started using calcipotriene for genital psoriasis, i'm on my second days but seems to make it worse, is it okay to continue or should stop?

Calcipotriene: If this ointment caused irritation/inflammation of the involved area or the surrounding skin, you should discontinue using it and notify the prescribing physician or dermatologist.
