Fourderm is a four drug combination I guess which contains steroids. All it is going to do is to give you temporary relief and then immediate relapse when you leave it. In addition to that it is going to harm you by making your skin thin and sensitive. There are chances of developing striae. So I would say here not to self diagnose and immediately rush to a nearby dermatologist and strickly adhere to medicines.
Also wash your clothes separately. Dry them in sunlight and iron them before you wear them.
Next Steps
Stop fourderm application.
