Use of Amlactin (ammonium lactate)

After returning from foreign trip, I developed rashes on my leg.  My dermatologist prescribed diflorsone diacetate 0.05% for 4 weeks; he diagnosed it as dermatitis.  The rash goes down a lot but not completely gone.  Then, the dermatologist recommend me to use Amlactin, situation is improving slowly.  But yesterday, I use the amlactin as a moisturizer while masturbating, I think I did something wrong so I immediately wash it off with soap.  If it makes any difference, I am circumcised.

AmLactin is just a moisturizer with ammonium lactate in it.  It can't cause any skin damage.  Not to worry.  I'd stay away from any more steroids, since they might perpetuate the rash.  Just use a regular moisturizer with no additives.  If the rash persists, show the dermatologist again.

Best.
