I've been dealing with this issue for quite some time now. The skin on my buttocks is really dry and itches intensely, often leading to red marks and constant peeling. I've been using Onabet lotion, but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. Any idea what's going on or what can help?

Use a combination of Clotrimazole cream and Hydrocortisone cream. Apply a thin layer of Clotrimazole cream (such as Canesten) followed by a thin layer of Hydrocortisone cream (such as Cortaid) on the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation.

I'm a bit confused about a product I've been prescribed. It's called Konaz ZP, and I was told it should be used as a shampoo. But when I checked the label, it actually says it's a lotion. So now I'm unsure about how to properly use it. Could it be possible that there's a mix-up, or is this common? How should I go about using it as a shampoo, if it's labeled otherwise?

yes u can use it, visit ur physician for apprpropriate managent

I'm dealing with this stubborn skin problem and I'm really feeling embarrassed about it. I've tried using keto soap, onabit lotion, and taken a few tablets, but there's been no improvement. Could you help me understand why this might be happening and suggest what I could try next? Feeling quite confused and anxious about this.

Can side effects from using a steroid cream on my face show up even 12 years later? I used Lobate cream a couple of times, not realizing it was a steroid, but that was about 2 years ago. Now my skin is often red and itchy. Could this be from that cream?
