Flutivate Cream is used in the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory skin disorders such as eczema, psoriasis, contact dermatitis, lichen planus, and lupus. It helps reduce skin redness, swelling, itching, irritation, and discomfort, thereby improving skin appearance and providing relief from inflammatory skin symptoms.
Here are the few steps for dealing with itching caused by drug use:
Report the itching to your doctor immediately; they may need to change your medication or dosage.
Use a cool, damp cloth on the itchy area to help soothe and calm the skin, reducing itching and inflammation.
Keep your skin hydrated and healthy with gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers.
Try not to scratch, as this can worsen the itching and irritate your skin.
If your doctor prescribes, you can take oral medications or apply topical creams or ointments to help relieve itching.
Track your itching symptoms and follow your doctor's guidance to adjust your treatment plan if needed. If the itching persists, consult your doctor for further advice.

The skin on my palms and soles keeps cracking and peeling, causing a burning sensation. What could be the reason?
G.santoshini Reddy

Cracking and peeling of the skin on the palms and soles with a burning sensation is usually due to very dry skin, frequent exposure to water, soaps or detergents, or conditions like eczema (sensitive, inflamed skin) or a fungal infection, especially if there is itching or scaling. In some people, sweating, friction, or walking barefoot can make it worse, and conditions like diabetes or nutritional deficiencies may also contribute. To manage this, keep the skin well moisturised by applying a thick, fragrance-free cream or ointment several times a day, especially after washing, avoid harsh soaps and chemicals, and try to wear protective footwear and gloves when needed. Keeping the area clean and dry is important, and do not peel the skin forcefully as it can worsen cracks and pain. If symptoms continue, a doctor may prescribe medicated creams such as antifungal or anti-inflammatory treatments depending on the cause. Early care usually gives good relief and prevents the problem from worsening.
I have redness of the skin along with a burning sensation. What could be the possible causes?
G.santoshini Reddy
M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)
Redness of the skin along with a burning sensation can happen for several common reasons, and in many cases, it is due to irritation of the skin. This may occur from contact with harsh soaps, chemicals, cosmetics, or allergens, a condition often called Contact Dermatitis. It can also be caused by sunburn, heat exposure, minor infections, or skin conditions like eczema, especially if the skin is dry or sensitive. In some cases, fungal or bacterial infections may lead to redness with discomfort, particularly if there is itching, swelling, or oozing. To manage this, it is important to identify and avoid the trigger, keep the area clean and cool, and use gentle, fragrance-free moisturisers. Avoid scratching or applying multiple over-the-counter creams without advice, as this can worsen the problem. If the redness is severe, spreading, painful, or not improving within a few days, it is best to consult a doctor, who may recommend the appropriate treatment based on the exact cause.
