Please help.

Answered by Dr. Suvash Sahu

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your concern and examined your picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

Though your given picture is not that much clear, I can make out ichthyosis in your forearm (genetic skin disorder - dry and scaly skin). I suggest you use Moisturex soft lotion twice daily and tablet Levocetirizine once daily for seven days after consulting your GP or near by dermatologist.

Hope it helps.

Thank you.
