Hello doctor, I am suchitra. I am here for my fathers health. He is suffering from skin problem. He has got dark reddish color itchy patches all over his body. Its been an a year now. We are currently using Glycerin lotion Secalia + Galvete lotion(Baclomethasone Dipropionate) recommend by the doctor. Because of itching he is unable to sleep at nights. I am very concerned about him.

It's better, you consult online with details of treatment and pics as it is difficult to give any opi7like this.
Next Steps
Try to contact the dermatologist who have treated earlier as history of medication and diagnosis is important
Health Tips
At least, apply Secalia only, without Galvete lotion, as it is steroid cream which may be harmful on larger areas for longer period.... patient may develop secondary fungal/bacterial infections also

• Secalia lotion can be continued. • Do keep a record of eczema flare-ups. • Short daily soaks in cool or warm water help your skin absorb water without drying it out. Follow up with a greasy ointment or hydrating cream or gel to seal in moisture. • Do moisturize regularly, and immediately following every shower/bath • Don’t scratch. • Don’t wear wool, nylon, rough linen or other heavy/synthetic fabrics that can irritate skin • Don’t wear clothing that causes excessive sweating. • Don’t use harsh detergents for clothes or bedding. • Avoid exposure to pollen, dust, and dust mites.
