Can I use Deriva CMS gel to get rid of whiteheads on my nose and chin? I'm really curious if it's effective or if I should try something else. Could someone help me out with this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Deriva CMS gel contains Adapalene and Clindamycin, which are commonly used to treat acne and whiteheads. You can apply a thin layer of Deriva CMS gel on the affected areas (nose and chin) once daily in the evening. Be sure to cleanse your face before applying the gel. It is important to follow the recommended dosage and instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

View allI've got these white patches on my neck and shoulder again after 5 years. It's really puzzling why they've returned after such a long time. I've been using the same cream and dusting powder from before, Clotrimazole Powder and Fourderm, for about a month now, but theres just no sign of them getting better. Could you help me figure out what's going on, and what else I might try? Would appreciate any insights you have!
The recurrence of white patches on your neck and shoulder area after 5 years could be due to a fungal infection, such as pityriasis versicolor, which can be triggered by factors like hormonal changes, stress, or sun exposure; despite using Clotrimazole Powder and Fourderm cream, the lack of improvement suggests you may need to consult a dermatologist for a revised diagnosis and treatment plan, which may include alternative antifungal medications, lifestyle changes, or other therapies to address the underlying cause.

I've been dealing with this pitryasis rosea thing since last week. The doctor said it might take a few months to clear up and gave me some mild soap and lotion. But now the first rashes are turning brown and feel bumpy and scaly. It's like I can feel them raised on my skin. They look really bad, and it doesn't seem like they're going away anytime soon. Is this normal? What should I expect, and is there anything else I can do?
It is normal for the rash in pityriasis rosea to evolve over time, with the initial rash often becoming darker in color and developing a scaly texture. To help alleviate the symptoms and promote healing, you can consider using a mild corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, taking an antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily can help with any itching. Make sure to continue using the prescribed mild soap and lotion as well. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been using Betnovate C cream every day for a month and noticed my skin's getting darker. I've stopped using it now, but I'm really worried. Can you tell me what I should do to get my skin tone back to normal?
