knox_harrington posted:IMHO and not having anything to do with dermaholiday beyond patients getting skin GvHD, hydrocortisone OTC préparations are basically placebo and if you have anything actually wrong with you you need a prescription for mometasone or something strong enough to actually clear it up. (also not a doctor) They sometimes work, but unless you're using it on newborns semi-placebo is a very good description for topical hydrocortisone. Daktacort and all the other combo preparations are good though. You just need the tiniest amount of anti-inflammatory after you've eradicated all those yeasts.

Rumda posted:It's not massively counter intuitive when we use combination anti-fungal steroid creams regularly Why are you being a twat? Steroids are directly lymphotoxic and potentially reducing the T cell response, key to clearing the HSV reactivation, makes it counter intuitive that steroids increase the rate of clearance.

I just tried some Stinking Bishop. I like smelly cheese but it’s one of the worst things I’ve ever tasted. Utterly vile. My son (9) loves it. He’s never met a cheese he didn’t like.

Rumda posted:It's not massively counter intuitive when we use combination anti-fungal steroid creams regularly This is because most of the problems treated by those creams aren't strictly fungal infections. The rash is an immune reaction to a perfectly harmless skin commensal. Hence you reduce the population with the antifungal and damp the reaction down with the steroid. I'm sure this is a Brexit/immigration analogy. Another Brexit related skin cream chat. When the GSK factory hosed up their production lines, one of the products was Trimovate, one of aforementioned combination creams. This cream is only widely prescribed in the UK and GSK prioritised all their European products first and we got our resupply last. I can only imagine what else we're going to run short on next year.

(also not a doctor) 1% OTC hydrocortisone ointment definitely works on me! I always found the cream useless. I am a Dr (just not a medical one  )My dad used to have really itchy skin and would sometimes run a bath deliberately too hot and use a pan scrubber to have a good scratch.

By the sounds of it we may end up with an australia style trade deal. Thing is you can understand why it takes a month to ship something from France to the other side of the world, less understandable when we're 30 miles away.

Sorry to break it to you but that preparation has gone the way of the dodo. You can get it specially made up since both adcortyl and orabase still exist but be prepared to pay silly money or cosplay Walter White to get it.

It's interesting, I've never actually met anyone advocating for Brexit (since everybody at work hates it). I wonder how I would react to meeting one - probably with the same dumbstruck confusion as when you discover you're speaking to a young earth creationist.
