Use of Amlactin (ammonium lactate)
by LC Doe, Nov 22, 2004 12:00AM
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.
