Question 1

hi doc, just want to ask if its good to continue use of dermovate cream for my face, i have  some redness in my face and rashes.

Accepted Answer

Dermovate cream: As long as its used for a brief amount of time  - no more than 5 days at a time  and away from the mouth you should be fine.   The problem is -  unless you have been previously diagnosed  -  you can't  be certain what you are treating.    Proceed with caution

Question 2

first of all am thanking for your help.my question is i used dermovate cream for several years and i need to quit this cream , and i tried for weeks but my face look worse what can i do please help.

Accepted Answer

Steroid rashes: Long term steroid on skin can cause several problems. The most serious is thinning of the skin like a stretch mark. Another common problem is "steroid acne". Without knowing why you started using this cream it is hard to give a proper answer. The best thing to do is to see a dermatologist to determine the type for reaction you are having and proper treatment for that and original problem.

Question 3

i used dermovate cream since 2012 . now my skin become sensitive when i stop this cream my face looks with red pimples and looks burned. so please help me how can i get good skin with out this cream help please?

Accepted Answer

Second opinion: I routinely recommend discontinuing ineffective treatment.  If you are having trouble with discontinuing and have underlying skin issues that could benefit from another cream, then a trusted dermatologist should be able to help.  If you need a referral, ask people you know for the name of a dermatologist who will spend the time to discuss and explain their diagnosis/treatment/outcome expected.

Question 4

dermovate cream for psoriasis, where is it available?

Accepted Answer

Prescription Steroid: Dermovate cream (clobetasol propionate) is a prescription corticosteroid cream.  Due to its high potency it should not be used on the face or genitals.  Limited use is recommended due to its potential adverse effects.

Regular follow up by your physician is recommended.

Question 5

what is dermovate cream prescribed for?

Accepted Answer

Antiinflammatory: It is prescribed to treat severe inflammatory skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis that have not responded to weaker corticosteroids.

Question 6

got 2 cut on my foreskin while mastubating.cut healed.burning sensation still there from last 2 week.dermovate cream didnt work.no redness no swelling?

Accepted Answer

2 weeks too long : a cut lasting that long needs to be evaluated by a dermatologist

Question 7

i have psoriasis since my teenage
i am using clobetasol ointment, dermovate ointment
today the pharmacist give me clotrimazole cream usp1%w/w.
is that same??

Accepted Answer

Moisturizer: I am a strong advocate on using non-scented soap and moisturizer after( preferably daily) bathing. Have you tried these?  As for the cream, the former two are cortisone the clotrimazole is for fungal infection- they are totally different.  See a dermatologist if the above measures did not work for you.

Question 8

does dermovate cream get rid of acne scars?

Accepted Answer

No: I'm sorry you ended up with scars because your acne was not properly managed. A dermatologist can make these less visible with fillers, dermabrasion, microsurgery or laser treatment. Nothing you can use at home will help.

Question 9

red rash on the back of my hand, looks like red veins spread, dry. doctor said its eczema, gave me dermovate cream; it didnt help. its been coming back for the past 4 months. do u think fucicort with hydrocortisone will help?

Accepted Answer

: Eczema is a condition well known for variations in intensity over time and resistance to many forms of treatment. Hydrocortisone in various forms is one of many treatments than may assist with reducing the intensity of eczema.

Question 10

how to apply a face cream.

Accepted Answer

Depends: There are multiple face creams with multiple purposes.  What did you buy it for?  Some are for moisturizing, others for exfoliation, anti-aging, pigment removal, etc. If you look at skin care guidelines available at Skin Care Guidelines - SkinCarePhysicians.com  you should be on the right track.
