What is the care provider's most appropriate response? A) "A steroid cream will likely help but often the skin problem lasts long after contact with the product that irritates the skin." B) "You're clearly allergic to the fiberglass in your insulation, and over-the-counter allergy medications are likely to resolve the problem quite rapidly."
