A member asked:
Is it best to lightly wet the inflamed or eczema-affected skin with a wash cloth before applying steroids in the morning? i take my showers at night?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes you can lightly wet the skin, no harm. It may make the cream's affect last longer, if the skin is moisturized and lightly dried with a soft cloth/gentle towel before application of the cream/medicine.
