A 25-year-old male asked:

Is it possible for steroids to be the only way to clear a contact dermatitis rash even after stopping the use of the culprit for a few weeks? i also have eczema?

The correct way to prevent the recurrence is avoidance but the quick way to heal is using steroids especially you have history of eczema.
