    Not sure anyone here can really help you because we do not know the type of rash you have or what is causing it.

    Some creams do take time to work one I had can't remember the name took over a week some take months.

    I would suggest going to have a chat with pharmacist and they should be able to guide you if they are no good go back to doctor.

    You under going treatment for haemochromatoisis?

      Hi thank you for your reply ... I got steroid cream from doctors which took 5 days to start working, I was on the understanding that the overload of iron can attack your skin as it’s an organ, my ferritin levels are 1784 very high , I had my first blood letting last week my specialist has told me I need at least 20 , once every week to get my levels down, I am still waiting on gene results.

      Thank you again for your reply x
