View allI'm really worried about my mom. She had a foot corn and used a corn cap, then cleaned it with Dettol for about 45 days, which seemed to burn her skin pretty bad. We went to a dermatologist who prescribed omnacortil 40mg. I read online that this medicine should show effects in about an hour, but she's not feeling any improvement. Her hands and foot look burnt, they're itchy, and she can't fold her fingers because they're swollen. She's also taking augmentin 625mg three times a day. How long does it usually take for the steroid to start working, and when might she start getting better? It's really concerning.
Omnacortil 40mg (Prednisolone)_ 1. *Onset of action*: 1-2 hours, but peak effects may take 4-6 hours. 2. *Expected improvement*: Within 24-48 hours, but full recovery may take 7-10 days. _Augmentin 625mg_ 1. *Antibiotic effects*: Should start showing improvement within 2-3 days. _Current Situation_ 1. *Severe skin reaction*: Dettol can be harsh on skin, causing burns and irritation. 2. *Steroid treatment*: Omnacortil should help reduce inflammation and swelling. 3. *Antibiotic treatment*: Augmentin should help prevent infection.

I'm experiencing some redness and itching on the skin of my scrotum, and it seems to be peeling too. The dryness is pretty uncomfortable, and I'm starting to feel a bit worried. Any idea what could be causing this and what I can do about it?

I'm really concerned about a possible connection between the medication I've been taking, Saaz DS, and developing allergies. Recently, I've noticed symptoms that remind me of ringworm, and it's making me anxious. I've been on Saaz DS 1g twice daily for about a year now. Could there be a link, and should I be worried?
Saaz DS (Sulfasalazine) is not typically used to treat allergies or ringworm. It is commonly prescribed for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative colitis. If you are experiencing symptoms of allergies or ringworm, it is best to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.
