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.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

I'm dealing with chickenpox and the scabs have dried, but they haven't started falling off yet. I scratched a few of the blisters earlier and I'm really worried they'll turn into scars. Should I wait until I'm fully recovered to see a dermatologist, or do you think I should make an appointment sooner to prevent any marks?
You can wait until the scabs have fallen off and the skin has fully healed before consulting a dermatologist. However, if you've scratched the blisters, it's best to consult a dermatologist sooner to minimize the risk of scarring. They can assess the affected areas and provide guidance on: 1. Topical treatments to reduce inflammation and promote healing. 2. Scar prevention and management strategies. Schedule an appointment within the next 7-10 days to ensure timely intervention.

I've been dealing with this ringworm problem for about six years now. I've tried all sorts of antifungal soaps and creams, but nothing seems to help. It's actually spreading all over my body. What should I do?
Consider consulting a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, as prolonged ringworm infections may require oral antifungal medications like fluconazole, itraconazole, or terbinafine, and ensure to complete the full treatment course, even if symptoms improve, to prevent recurrence and further spreading.
