I've been dealing with Tinea Cruris near my crotch, and it's finally cured, but before I saw a dermatologist, someone advised me to use Betnovate. Now, I've noticed that it's caused some thinning of my skin. Is there anything I can do to help with that?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Betnovate (betamethasone) can cause skin thinning (atrophy) with prolonged use.
Reversing Skin Thinning
- Stop using Betnovate: Discontinue use to prevent further skin thinning.
- Moisturize: Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers to hydrate the skin.
- Topical creams: Apply creams containing hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or niacinamide to help restore skin thickness.
- Avoid further irritation: Refrain from scratching or using harsh products on the affected area.
- Consult a dermatologist: Schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor progress and adjust treatment if necessary.

I'm dealing with a fungal infection that my doctor diagnosed about a month ago. I've been on medication, taking Candiforce 200 twice daily, and using O2 derm cream. But now I'm noticing some stretch marks and they're spreading. Is there any nonsteroidal cream you could recommend for this? Also, a friend mentioned using Alograce bathing bar from Mankind. Is that safe to use for my skin condition? Would love your take on this!
For stretch marks, consider using non-steroid creams like coconut oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, or creams containing silicone, vitamin E, or retinol; as for Alograce bathing bar, it's specifically formulated for fungal infections and is generally safe to use, but discontinue if you experience any irritation

I'm a bit concerned about my recent blood test results that show an IgE level of more than 2000. I've been dealing with eczema for a while now, and it's been quite challenging. Also, my WBC count came back at 12,000. Can you help me understand what these numbers might mean for my health? Is there something specific I should be worried about or focus on addressing?
Based on your IgE levels being more than 2000 and your history of eczema, it indicates a strong allergic response in your body. To help manage your symptoms, you can take antihistamines like Cetirizine 10mg once daily. In addition, for your eczema, you can use a topical corticosteroid like Hydrocortisone cream twice daily on the affected areas
