Ceratopic: My patients have also found good improvement with the use of ceratopic, by skinmedica. This can be purchased in many physician offices. We also have this available in our online store at www.Ohioplastic.Com.

You need to : Control the itch with oral histamine and a prescription topical steroids of moderate potency from your physician. Do not use it when your skin is weepy or not intact. At those times , you may need to apply topical antibiotics to get it healed then proceed with the topical steroids. Aquaphor ointments are very good to apply when it is dry, cracked bleedy. If no better, consult with your physician.

Could be fungus: Check with your dermatologist, because you might use a topical anti-fungal for a short time and feel better.
