I've been using Panderm cream for a while, but after learning about its side effects, I stopped. My doctor then prescribed Deriva CMS gel and another cream to treat the rashes and small pimples I got from Panderm. The rashes have improved, but I'm worried about what's next because I can't stop using the gel without risking the rashes coming back. Plus, my skin has become really dry. Can you recommend what kind of cream I should use now?

use doctor prescribed cream only
