Itching And Dark Pigmentation Around Mouth. Prescribed Elidel And Oxytetracycline. Will It Suffice?
Hi, I am a 51-year-old woman and I have a deep dark developed around my mouth since April of this year. It was itching badly and I went to an allergy doctor who prescribed me a good tablets which stopped the itching. I have also seen a skin doctor who prescribed me Elidel cream which is not good at all and also Oxytertracycline for the itching when it comes but it doesn't help like my previous tablets. Would you please advice me?
