I've been dealing with these cuts behind my ear for about three months now. They're watery and tend to turn into flakes. I've tried using Soframycin and Neosporin, but the problem just keeps coming back. Any idea what else I could try to help this heal?

I've been using Panderm NM cream for the past six months, and I'm really worried about stopping it. Can you help me figure out a way to stop using it without dealing with any side effects? I'm just not sure how to transition off it safely.

It is not recommended to abruptly stop using Panderm NM cream as it may lead to withdrawal effects or rebound symptoms. It is advisable to gradually taper off the use of this cream. You can start by reducing the frequency of application and then eventually stop using it. Additionally, you can switch to a milder steroid cream like Eumovate cream for a smoother transition. Consult your healthcare provider for a proper tapering schedule and further guidance.
