View allI'm trying to figure out if the Adapalene and Clindamycin cream I've been using for my acne has any steroids in it. Specifically, I'm curious about Deriva CMS gel. Can you let me know if it's considered a steroid cream?
Deriva CMS is not a steroid cream.

Can sharing a comb with an older family member really cause my hair to turn grey? I'm also curious about what other problems might come from sharing a comb with someone else. Should I be worried about hygiene or other health issues?

I've put Dettol on my face with a cotton swab earlier today around noon, and it started burning. It first turned black and then went red. I tried cold water, ice, and later put some Lacto Calamine lotion on it at around 3pm. There's still a blackish mark that's worrying me. What should I do now?
Applying Dettol to the skin can cause chemical burns, especially if left on for an extended period. Treatment and Care 1. Continue applying cold compresses: Cold water and ice can help reduce the burning sensation and inflammation. 2. Lacto Calamine lotion: You're on the right track with Lacto Calamine lotion, which can help soothe and calm the skin. 3. Topical antibiotic cream: Apply a topical antibiotic cream, such as Neosporin or Bacitracin, to prevent infection. 4. Hydrocortisone cream: A mild steroid cream, such as hydrocortisone, can help reduce inflammation and itching. 5. Avoid further irritation: Refrain from applying any harsh products, exfoliating, or using hot water on the affected area.
