Eberfine cream contains Eberconazole (1% ww) and Mometasone (0.1% ww), which means it does contain a steroid, specifically Mometasone, a moderate-strength topical corticosteroid. As for its effectiveness in treating ringworm, the combination of Eberconazole (an antifungal) and Mometasone (a steroid) can help alleviate symptoms such as itching, redness, and inflammation, while also treating the underlying fungal infection.

Question

I've noticed this deep horizontal crease line on my stomach, right below my ribs. It's kind of faint in the morning but by the end of the day, it becomes this deep, often red line that's pretty unattractive, especially when I wear a Saree or lehenga. Could you recommend an over-the-counter cream to help get rid of it permanently?

I'm really worried because the foreskin on my penis is really tight and keeps getting these painful cuts. It's super uncomfortable and every time I try to clean, it gets inflamed and red. I've been using CandidB cream for the itching, but the cuts just keep coming back. Can you give me some expert advice on what to do?
