Overcoming Allergic Contact Dermatitis at Pangi, Himachal Pradesh

On 27th January 2023, a 27-year-old male came to the Apollo Telehealth center in Pangi with chief complaints about the mysterious lesions that had appeared on his hands and legs over the past two months, with an added burden of severe itching and dryness plaguing the affected areas for the past week.

As he entered the Telehealth center, his pulse was steady at 76 beats per minute, and his blood pressure stood at a reassuring 100/70 mmHg. Oxygen saturation levels in his blood were measured at 96%, while his temperature was held at a healthy 98.6°F.

Recognizing the patient’s condition, the diligent paramedics conducted an initial assessment and recorded his vital signs. To ensure timely medical intervention, they swiftly organized a teleconsultation with a seasoned dermatologist, connecting directly to the specialist.

During the consultation, the dermatologist carefully examined his condition, combining expertise with empathy. After a comprehensive assessment, a provisional diagnosis of Allergic Contact Dermatitis was pronounced.

He received a personalized treatment plan from the dermatologist; the doctor prescribed the application of Fucibet cream twice daily for a week. Additionally, Tab Cetcip 10mg was prescribed to be taken once daily, before bed, for seven days, further aiding in the management of his symptoms.

The specialist also recommended the application of Coconut Oil over the affected regions, both in the morning and evening. Emphasizing the importance of personal hygiene, the doctor urged him to bathe twice daily with lukewarm water, ensuring cleanliness and the prevention of further irritation. Furthermore, the dermatologist stressed the significance of regular moisturization, and cherishing his skin with the love and care it deserved & avoiding scratching the lesions.

Two days hence, on 2nd February 2023, a follow-up call was made to him. The lesions that once marred his hands and legs had significantly improved. The patient expressed his heartfelt appreciation to the Apollo Telehealth Center and its staff for their precise diagnosis and invaluable guidance.
