-Hi, the dark spots from lichen planus (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) can take time to fade. Use sunscreen daily, consider creams with ingredients like kojic acid or glycolic acid, and consult a dermatologist for treatments like chemical peels or lasers for faster results.

Question 4

Can Clovate 0.5mg cream be used to treat white spots on the skin or conditions like vitiligo? Id really appreciate some guidance.

Accepted Answer

Clovate 0.5mg cream contains clobetasol propionate, which is a high-potency corticosteroid. It is commonly used to treat various skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. However, it is not typically recommended for the treatment of vitiligo or white spots on the skin. For the treatment of vitiligo, other medications such as topical calcineurin inhibitors or phototherapy are usually preferred. It is important to consult with a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan for vitiligo.

It's not recommended to substitute Lacto B Forte with Mecobal Plus for treating blisters, as they have different ingredients and purposes,

I have pimple marks that are just one day old. Is there any cream or quick remedy that can help remove them fast?

Accepted Answer

To remove pimple marks, you can try using a cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream, applied once daily at night. Additionally, using a sunscreen during the day is important to prevent further darkening of the marks. It is also helpful to incorporate products containing ingredients like glycolic acid or vitamin C into your skincare routine to promote skin cell turnover and fading of the marks. Remember, consistency is key when using these products for best results
