I'm wondering if applying Glocin during the day is safe. Will it cause any pigmentation if I'm exposed to sunlight or even just the light from a normal tubelight? Really need some guidance here.

Glocin is a brand name for the drug Mometasone. Mometasone is a topical corticosteroid used to reduce skin inflammation. When applied during the day, it is generally safe to use. However, prolonged exposure to sunlight or artificial light like tubelight can increase the risk of skin pigmentation. It is advisable to use sunscreen with a high SPF during the day to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

Question

I've been dealing with a case of Acute Paronychia and it seems like it's getting better. The swelling's gone down, and I managed to squeeze out a lot of pus and discharge from the abscess, which I think cleared it out. But I'm not entirely sure, 'cause some odd things are leaving me questioning. Like, I peeled off some dry skin around the swelling area and noticed there's still a bit of a bump. Should I be worried, or is this normal during recovery?

Question

I've been using Flutivate ointment for the past month as my doctor recommended. I've noticed some changes in my skin, and I'm a bit concerned about whether this is normal or if I should be worried. Should I keep using it, or is there something else I need to watch out for while continuing with this treatment?

Question

I've been dealing with an oily scalp and hair loss and Im a bit worried because I also masturbate every two days. Is there any chance that masturbation could be causing this? Also, is it normal to masturbate every two days or around 3 to 4 times a week? If it's not considered normal, what steps can I take to manage or control my masturbation habits? I'm just trying to understand if there's a connection here or if I should be doing something different.
