I've been diagnosed with lichen planus and I've been prescribed Omnacortil 10mg tablets. I'm really curious about what effects or side effects I might experience from taking this medication. Can you shed some light on this for me?

Tablet Omnacortil 10mg contains prednisolone, which is a corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation. In the treatment of lichen planus, Omnacortil 10mg can help reduce itching, redness, and inflammation of the skin lesions. However, it is important to note that long-term use of corticosteroids like prednisolone can have side effects such as weight gain, increased blood sugar levels, increased risk of infections, and thinning of the skin. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration as advised by your healthcare provider to minimize the risk of side effects.

View allI'm trying to figure out the best way to use benzoyl peroxide with my sunscreen. Should I be putting on sunscreen before or after the benzoyl peroxide? And how long should I wait between applying the two? I'm a bit confused about the order and timing, could you help clear this up?
When using benzoyl peroxide (BPO) and sunscreen together, follow these guidelines: *Application Order* 1. *Benzoyl peroxide first*: Apply BPO to the affected areas, allowing it to dry completely. 2. *Sunscreen second*: Apply sunscreen over the treated areas. *Waiting Time* Wait at least *15-30 minutes* after applying BPO before applying sunscreen. This allows the BPO to penetrate the skin and reduces the risk of pilling or reduced efficacy. *Additional Tips* 1. *Choose a gentle sunscreen*: Opt for a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic sunscreen to minimize irritation. 2. *Select a broad-spectrum sunscreen*: Ensure the sunscreen provides broad-spectrum protection (SPF 30 or higher) to prevent further skin damage. 3. *Reapply sunscreen regularly*: Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours or immediately after swimming or sweating.

I'm a bit worried because I brought minoxidil USP 10HARE10 in India, and now that I'm in the UAE, I noticed that when I opened the bottle, the color is this strange yellow. I'm not sure if it's safe to use like this. Could this color change mean it's bad, or is it still okay to apply it?
it should not that much affected
