What are the best treatments or medications for a red, itchy, and painful left shoulder that started two days ago, and should I continue using Betadine ointment?

Asked by Male, 31 · 7 days ago

It is best to pause using Betadine ointment, as it is an antiseptic that can sometimes further irritate sensitive or inflamed skin. To help soothe the itching and pain, you might try a cool compress, a mild over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream, or an oral antihistamine like cetirizine. Simple pain relievers like ibuprofen can also help. Because these symptoms could range from an allergic reaction to a skin infection, please have a healthcare professional examine your shoulder in person to ensure you receive the safest and most effective treatment.
