Thanks for the query. I do not think you should take wysolone for such a conditon as it contains steroids. Meet another dermatologist and be sure to go to a skin specialist. Similar presentation can be seen in many skin diseases and can be diagnosed during a consultation. OTC anti-allergic medications may be useful till then.
Next Steps
Both the problem may have a common cause and can be made out upon investigation and consultation.
Health Tips
Avoid self medications. Meet a Dermatologist.
