Does Eberfine cream have steroids in it, and is it actually good for treating ringworm?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

I've been having this issue with my hair turning grey for a couple of months now. I'm noticing that some of my hairs are completely grey, while others are black at the root, then brown, and eventually grey at the top. It's happening pretty quickly, and I'm worried. Is there any way to reverse the greying? I'd really appreciate any advice or solutions you might have.
grey hair is due to lack of biotin protien in your diet,consume balanced diet with extra protien for healthy hair,if it is bothering you visit dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
