Dermatologist, Dr. Ilyas Patel's Response

Hi,

You seem to have allergic or irritant contact dermatitis. There may be some cause. It may be pollens,house dust mites, house dust,cosmetics,soap,grass,fume or some other....Sun exposure,stress... might exacerbate the disease..

You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis.

However I would recommend as below..
- antihistaminics
- steroid in tappering dose
- local application of mild steroid cream
- avoidance of triggers
I hope you got my answer..

thanks.
