I'm just a dentist but I picked up a dermatology textbook at a yard sale.

I laughed and laughed because they described all these terrible conditions and under the treatment section they ALL used cortisone cream(steroid), or medrol dosepaks (steroid), or shots of decadron (steroid). I'd suggest unless she has a terminal case of zits she use a steroid. And check for bedbugs.

I'm not trying to be funny. Just very little information about what cold be so dire about a dermatology issue
