Cutisoft Cream 15 gm is used in the treatment of Swelling, redness, and itching caused by certain skin problems such as dermatitis, eczema and insect bite reactions. It contains Hydrocortisone, a steroid that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. When the skin reacts to any type of allergens, such chemicals are released normally.
I have a post-wax allergy for a week, and it's not getting better. Can I use Cutisoft Cream 15 gm to treat?
Dr Bayyarapu Kumar

Since your post‑wax allergy has persisted for a week without improvement, it’s best not to start Cutisoft Cream on your own. Cutisoft contains hydrocortisone, a mild steroid that can reduce redness, itching, and inflammation, but steroid creams should be used carefully, especially on sensitive areas, and only under medical guidance. A doctor can examine your skin, determine whether the reaction is due to irritation, infection, or allergy, and decide whether Cutisoft or another treatment is appropriate. This ensures you get the right care, avoid side effects, and prevent the condition from worsening.
I have swollen spots all over my body, with burning and severe itching, especially in skinfold areas and on my face. The spots look like large mosquito bites. When I apply Dettol or coconut oil, it relieves the itching and swelling for only a few minutes, and the itching and swelling return. What could be the cause, and what is the proper treatment?
Dr S Aneela

This is most likely a skin allergy called hives, which causes swollen, itchy spots on the body. It can be triggered by food, heat, medicines, or other allergens. Consult a doctor for anti-allergy treatment and avoid using harsh products like Dettol on the skin.
I have skin rashes with itching, and when I scratch the area, it becomes swollen. What could be the cause, and how can I treat it?
Dr S Aneela
M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD
This is commonly due to urticaria (skin allergy), in which scratching causes swelling and raised, itchy patches. It may be triggered by food, medicines, heat, stress, or other allergens. Avoid triggers, keep the skin cool, and consult a doctor who may prescribe anti-allergy medicine for relief.
Why are some wounds not healing even with treatment for non-diabetic patients?
Dr S Aneela
M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD
Wounds may not heal in non-diabetic patients due to poor blood circulation, infection, repeated friction, dietary inadequacies, smoking, certain drugs (such as steroids), or underlying illnesses like anemia or thyroid abnormalities. If a wound is taking too long to heal, it's important to have it checked out a proper cleaning, antibiotics, or specialized wound care may be required for full recovery.
