Hi. Greetings. Please see a dermatologist near you for adequate diagnosis and proper treatment on prescription. Arbitrary treatment with creams etc can change the disease picture and cause difficulty in diagnosis at a later stage. Send in your further queries on follow up private chat. Warm regards, Dr Govind Suresh Mittal, Bangalore.
