Question 1

Hello,
I had Tinea Cruria itch near my crotch. It's cured now. But before I went to a proper dermatologist I was told to apply Betnovate and it had caused thinning of skin. Is there any solution for this now?

Accepted Answer

Betnovate (betamethasone) can cause skin thinning (atrophy) with prolonged use.

_Reversing Skin Thinning_

1. _Stop using Betnovate_: Discontinue use to prevent further skin thinning.
2. _Moisturize_: Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers to hydrate the skin.
3. _Topical creams_: Apply creams containing hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or niacinamide to help restore skin thickness.
4. _Avoid further irritation_: Refrain from scratching or using harsh products on the affected area.
5. _Consult a dermatologist_: Schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor progress and adjust treatment if necessary.

Question 2

I have a small, painful pimple near my anus. It hurts when I touch it. What can I do to treat it?

Accepted Answer

I recommend using an over-the-counter cream containing 2.5% hydrocortisone to reduce inflammation and pain. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for up to a week. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen to help with the pain. If the pimple does not improve or if you experience any worsening symptoms, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation

Question 3

Sir i stop using mometasone furoate cream but after 1 week dark circles patchs are coming so what should i do to remove dis patches nd clear my skin?

Accepted Answer

You can try using a hydroquinone cream along with a good sunscreen to help lighten the dark patches on your skin. You can try using Melalite cream (hydroquinone) in the evening and applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher during the day. Make sure to apply the cream only on the dark patches and follow up with a moisturizer. Additionally, you can consider using a vitamin C serum to help brighten your skin. Remember to consult with a dermatologist before starting any new treatment.
