Question: Hi doctor, I used kozi-q cream on my face and I have got really bad red rashes and burns in my entire upper lip area. Will this fade away ? What should I do ? Should I stop using it? IAm very worried. It starting to look black and seems like I have a moustache! What is the remedy for this ? Please help me ? I started putting neoskin! It has reduced the redness very little but it's looking black and I have burns.
Brief Answer:
Apply topical steroid and sunscreen
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
What are the contents of kozi q cream?
You seem to have developed dermatitis to the cream.
I would recommend you to apply topical Steroid like mometasone cream on the affected areas twice daily for 7-10 days along with application of a broad spectrum sunscreen on the entire face during the day time.
This will lighten your marks.
You can continue using neoskin cream at night.
Steroidal preparations are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
Meanwhile stop kozi q cream application.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
