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.

View allI'm 19 years old and really want to grow a thicker, fuller beard. Right now, my beard growth isn't as great as I'd like. I have some hair, but it's not as much as I want. Can you give me some tips to help me achieve a fuller beard? I'm really concerned about this and could use your advice. It's pretty important to me.
-At 19, your beard growth is still developing, and genetics play a big role. To encourage thicker growth, focus on a healthy diet rich in proteins, vitamins (like biotin), and minerals, get enough sleep, and avoid stress. Patience is key!

I'm really confused about choosing the right cream for fairness between Kojivit gel, Kojivit plus, Kojivit ultra, or Demelan Cream. Could you help me figure out which one might be the best option?
Among the options you have mentioned, Kojivit gel is a good choice for fairness. It contains Kojic acid which helps in skin lightening and reducing dark spots. You can apply a thin layer of Kojivit gel on the affected areas twice daily for best results.

I'm currently on a low dose of isotretinoin, and it's really cleared up my acne. My skin's looking radiant and much fairer lately. I'm curious, does isotretinoin actually help with brightening your complexion? Also, my doctor mentioned switching to tretinoin gel after stopping Accutane. Will tretinoin help me keep this glow and maintain my skin tone?
Tretinoin will help you maintain that glow and skin tone after you stop isotretinoin. It continues the process of exfoliating the skin, preventing new acne, and improving skin texture and tone. Just ensure you follow your dermatologist's advice carefully regarding how to introduce tretinoin and remember to always protect your skin with sunscreen.
