Answer:

The correct answer is option A) "A steroid cream will likely help, but often the skin problem lasts long after contact with the product that irritates the skin."

Explanation:

Steroid creams are prescribed as palliative treatments because they help to reduce the level of skin's inflammation but they not attack the underlying cause of the inflammation. In this case, the 31 year-old man has being in contact with fiberglass insulation during several years, and he tried to use moisturizing creams with no significant improvements. Therefore, it is very likely that this palliative treatments are not enough to treat his problems which the care provider could summarize by the phrase "a steroid cream will likely help, but often the skin problem lasts long after contact with the product that irritates the skin".
