Brief Answer:
Eczematous lesion

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I suggest you try Clobetasol, a topical steroid for the eczematous lesion that you have. You can apply it after bath, thrice a day for a week.

If it does not get better you should see a local skin doctor. If it itches please do not scratch rather apply CETAPHIL lotion. I do not think Abzorb will help.

Hope this helps.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
