Desonide cream is a topical corticosteroid primarily used to treat skin inflammation and allergies; while it may temporarily lighten skin tone due to its anti-inflammatory effects, using it for fairness is not recommended, as prolonged use can lead to skin thinning, acne, and other adverse effects, especially on oily and acne-prone skin.

Question

I'm having a bit of a tough time with ringworms right now. I used Allegra 120 mg and Terbinaforce tablets before, and it seemed to help, but I'm noticing they're coming back on my crotch area, hips, back, waist, and thighs. It starts as a small dot and then grows larger. Any idea why this might be happening again, and what else I can do to stop it from spreading?

Question

I'm really worried about this condition on my leg. There's something like "KARATMarathi" there, and the blood around it has just turned into a solid red clot under my skin. It looks really concerning and I'm unsure if what I'm doing is right. I've started taking DISPERZYME and CEFCHAMP 325, twice every day, as prescribed. Do you think I'm on the right track to treat this issue, or should I consider something else?

Question

I'm really worried about the sudden hair loss I've been experiencing. It all started around four years ago after I shaved my head for a few months. Since then, only about half of my hair has come back, and the hair loss just hasn't stopped. Can you help me understand what might be going on?
