View allI'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?
Betnovate (betamethasone) can cause skin thinning (atrophy) with prolonged use. _Reversing Skin Thinning_ 1. _Stop using Betnovate_: Discontinue use to prevent further skin thinning. 2. _Moisturize_: Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers to hydrate the skin. 3. _Topical creams_: Apply creams containing hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or niacinamide to help restore skin thickness. 4. _Avoid further irritation_: Refrain from scratching or using harsh products on the affected area. 5. _Consult a dermatologist_: Schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor progress and adjust treatment if necessary.

I've been feeling really itchy under my breasts and in my groin area, especially since winter started here in Pune. It's getting pretty uncomfortable. The skin has turned this odd dark brown color, and it's kind of awful now that its even up to my cleavage. I'm wondering if there's some home remedy I could try to sort this out, or should I be talking to a specialist about this?
This could be a fungal infection, such as Tinea corporis (ringworm), which commonly affects these areas due to warm and moist conditions. You can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream twice daily on the affected areas for 2-4 weeks. Keep the areas clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting cotton clothes to allow the skin to breathe. Avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen despite home remedies, it would be advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

No clovate cream is not advised in pregnancy, Flutivate cream is advised to the patient.
