There is known side effect of these creams. You haven't mentioned your contact time for the cream, it shout be more than 2 hrs, no application at daytime, strict sun avoidance are the rules with this cream. You stop them for now, just try to avoid soap and other cosmetics for five to seven days, apply cultivate cream twice daily over rash. Once rash subsides u can try that cream again with guidelines i have mentioned above, still rasChatDoctores better to stop it and go for chemical peel. </s>
