Question 1

I recently used a bath salt with Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate), and a couple of days later, I developed red, itchy rashes like hives and blisters all over my body. They also burn a bit. I don't have any fever or breathing issues, but I'm really worried about scarring. What should I do to treat this?

Lacto Calamine can be used to treat dark spots on the skin. It contains ingredients like zinc oxide and glycerin which help in reducing dark spots and improving skin tone.

Since you have been suffering for 3 months, it is important to consider a different approach. This sounds like a case of fungal infection, possibly a persistent one. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream twice daily on the affected areas for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, taking oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks can also help clear the infection completely. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to aid in the healing process.

Accepted Answer

Long-term use of Betnovate cream, a strong steroid, can cause skin thinning, increased acne, pigmentation changes, and may worsen skin issues over time. It's best to stop regular use and consult a dermatologist for safer options, like non-steroid creams, retinoids, or other acne treatments suited to your skin.
