My daughter has used Aquaphor cream, available OTC for minor external
irritation for time to time.( no cortisone). You might ask your doctor
about that.You probably wouldn't need cortisone cream long term if you

rule everything out. Good luck; it sounds like your doctor wants to
help you get to the bottom of it and feel better. (if not you know what
to do- move on). Alex

Cortisone makes me nervous, due to thinning of the skin, and I don't want to get addicted to it. My poor husband thought he was doing good when he purchased Unscented Tide. Unfortunately, if you smell that laundry detergent NEXT to "ALL FREE AND CLEAR", Tide Unscented smells like floor cleaner!
