Question

I have eczema. Any steroid/non steroid creams that I use for it, if they contain alcohol or animal derivatives, can I use them?

Answer

Yes, if there is no other substitute.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
