Help please? How long will it take to clear a dry skin patch??

[jaynehal]

Hi there

I've been to my docs about these pink dry patches on my right breast and she has given me steroid cream which is burning, I have been putting the cream on since Thursday and they do seem a little paler but not gone! How long will it take? Thanks x

This would vary with different people and as to how bad it is but I would say give it a couple of weeks.

thanks, I'll just carry on with cream then x

I had a skin irritation and the derm gave me some steroid cream and said give it at least two weeks, so I wouldn't expect it to be gone yet

Thanks I just thought it would be gone by now I'm very impatient x

if the patch is going a bit paler would you say it is just dry skin?? x
