Brief Answer:

Topical steroid antibiotic cream combination

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I have reviewed the attached photographs and would recommend you to apply a cream containing a combination of topical steroid and antibiotic like mometasone and fusidic acid cream on the affected area twice daily for 7-10 days. This should resolve it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
