Itching after Shave

2018-07-23 05:50:29
I had a problem with my skin i.e when I Shave the itching starts all around that area, the skin Doctor advised me to use SOFRADEX cream as a after shave and make it as a habit, since 10 years I've been using this Ointment and I never had a problem, but now this cream is not available or discontinued and problem has started again, so not what is the replacement of SOFRADEX

Please stop using sofradex cream as it contains strong steroids which will cause serious side effects. Steroid induced pimples, photosensitivity that is sun sensitivity, rosacea that is red face, atrophy that is skin thinning, stretch marks, pigmentation, dryness, severe itching and hair growth on the face etc to name a few side effects. Reports of skin cancer are also there. Please don't use any such Steroid containing fairness creams. You will require treatment to slowly put you off this cream by using some substitute as the skin becomes addicted to the steroid. Hence you are facing such a problem. Please call me or send photos through online consult option for proper examination and treatment.,
