What should be used to treat allergy of the skin?

Antibiotic ointment
Hydrocortisone cream
Lotion
Steroid injection

The correct answer is: Lotion

Allergy of the skin is typically treated with topical solutions such as lotions, creams, or ointments. Antibiotic ointment (A), while effective for bacterial infections, will not help with an allergic reaction. Hydrocortisone cream (B) is a type of steroid, which can also be used to treat skin allergies, but it is not the most appropriate option. A steroid injection (D) may be used in severe cases, but is not typically the first line of treatment for skin allergies. Therefore, the most appropriate and effective treatment for skin allergies is a topical lotion (C).
