What Causes Severe Itchiness And Burning Sensation After Using Canesten Cream?
I used canistan cream and the pill imput last night as I have been itchy for a few days and burning sensation. It s the next day and the itching feels worse. I put cream on this morning after a shower. I am worried and also the cream and pill was three months out of date. I was desperate and used it thinking t would be okay. Is this a danger?

Hello,
It seems that you have developed allergy to the canesten cream. You can take antihistamine Levocetrizine 5 mg (Levocet) twice a day for 5 days.
If you do not feel better with it in a day, I would advise you to visit your nearest doctor as you might need a corticosteroid injection. Do not use this cream in future as the future allergic reactions may be worse than current.
I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Take care.
