Itching and allergy
I had consulted for itching over my legs and hands with small pimple like bumps all over causing heavy itching it was an allergy as diagnosed I started using desowen lotion and bepozal tablet each twice a day.its been 10 days I'm using them it cured the marks but I've still got some new ones. so should I continue using this medication? as it is a steroid cream will it have side effects I'm getting acnes after the use of this.
Also I wanted to ask wat should I use for itching on my genitals I have some big some small pimple like boils(no puss) all over them,they are red and itches verry badly.so is it the same allergy causing it or its something else in the genital areas and wat creams should I use?

Hi, you could continue taking bepozal tab for itching. It is advisable to stop using Desowen lotion as it is a steroid lotion and should not be used for a long time without prescription.

It is better to do an online consultation with pictures to get the proper medication
