Itchy skin after Mole removal Posted: 03-04-07 03:00am
I have had this problem since 2 years ago
and it has never gone away. I believe it
started after i went to a cheap place to
get a mole removed from my lip which
didn't work (at least i think this is why)
On the corner of my mouth started to get
really itchy and eventually started to get
fleshy and wet and no matter how much i
dried or washed it, it would just get wet
again, then it moved to the other corner.
My parents finally took me to the doctor
and he gave me this medicine, which he
never told me what it was and it went
away, but a few weeks after i stopped
using it, it came straight back. So i just
kept using it and using it, till i had
enough.
So i went back to the same doctor and he
prescribed me the same medicine +
acyclovir (spelling?). That didn't work
then i went to a dermatologist thats when
he prescribed me Fluocinolone Acetonide
Ointment, USP, 0.02 After about a week i
started getting pimples all over the area
same with the other prescription. Please
help its been to long

Given the description you provide, it is
impossible to diagnose the irritation on
your mouth. It seems that neither of your
doctors are sure what is the real problem,
either. You’ve used 3 types of drugs:
corticosteroids, anti-yeast drug
(clotrimazole) and anti-herpes drug
(acyclovir). Corticosteroids are not used
(contraindicated) for viral or yeast
infections because they can worsen the
condition. They are used only for allergic
skin lesions.
You might try to find yourself a good
dermatologist that can identify a real
diagnosis and recommend proper treatment.
