Folliculitis
Hi,
I took a dermatologist appointment here and got prescription for Folliculitis- got 2 medicines and 1 Atarax lotion to put on my legs below knee. I got the red spots there and i tried not to itch it. After 1 week of taking the prescribed medication, the spots were leaving but the skin was becoming dry. So i itched the leg and now it has become more red, though it is still in some areas. The medicines were provided for 1 week which i completed and i have to put lotion for another 1 week. Any other remedy i can try so that the itch and the reaction goes away?
Thank you.
