Sitaram Fair Foot Ointment is generally aimed at moisturizing and protecting the feet, which may be helpful for dry, flaky skin, but for a persistent rash with your described symptoms, you might want to approach it with a little more caution. The ointment contains natural emollients which can help soothe and hydrate. But if you’re dealing with a rash that is bright red and itchy, and especially if it’s been ongoing for weeks, it could be more than just dry skin.
From a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, these symptoms might indicate an imbalance, such as excessive Pitta, which can cause inflammation, or Vata, leading to dryness and flaky skin. Since you’re living in a humid environment, fungal infections could also be a possibility. In this case, an ointment like Sitaram Fair might not sufficiently address the underlying issue.
It’s important to ensure skin hygiene by keeping your feet dry and wearing breathable footwear. I’d suggest cleansing the area with a neem water (boil neem leaves in water) to help manage any possible infection. Also, try applying a paste of turmeric with a few drops of coconut oil, known for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, but make sure to test a small patch first since you mentioned sensitivity.
If these do not bring relief, I would recommend seeing a healthcare provider to explore underlying causes—sometimes skin issues can indicate a need for medical evaluation beyond topical treatments. Check for any regular contact with allergens or irritants too.
In terms of side effects, while Sitaram Fair Foot Ointment is usually well-tolerated, it can sometimes cause mild irritation in sensitive skin. If you decide to use it, test it on a small area first. Most importantly, if there’s any sign of worsening, or if additional symptoms appear, getting professional medical advice would be a prudent step.
