Good evening. Clobetasol is not to be used to ringworm. It will only make it worse and ruin your skin in the process.
For proper examination and treatment of your condition consult a qualified dermatologist in person or at the very least, through online consultation.

If you are having severe acne, scars and pore, then it is more important to consult a dermatologist and start proper treatment. Once a scar is a scar forever. Do not delay treatment. For mild acne, brevoxyl creamy wash (its a face wash) works well.

Good evening. A facial cleanser based on salicylic acid is generally used for oily and acne prone skin. It may dry out normal skin. If your skin can handle it, it should suit your cleansing needs. Just a reminder, that any face wash used will have no effect on the size of the pores.

No. Specific medicine required depends on the grade. Acne or pimples. Due to hormonal changes. Oily skin causes it. Common in adolescent age. May occur in adults also. Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne.

Yes, you can use demelan lite for dark skin and spots but it won't be of much use for chicken pox scars.

Hi, I have dandruff and acne, scars on my face. Acne is puss filled and of a substantial size also. I visited a derma a month ago, and she prescribed a shampoo for dandruff that did not work. Post 3 weeks, on follow up, she prescribed a ionax t (shampoo with coal tar). Now coal tar has carcinogenic components in it. Am I at a risk? She also gave me a photostatic (emulsion) sunscreen for my skin but it contains parabens. I feel that she has given me products that contain ingredients that might cause other life threatening diseases to me? Kindly tell me what to do! Apart from the above medications, im also, alternating between a spot corrector nd a scar removing cream at night, with some tablets for acne scars, a lotion to be applied at scalp on dandruff areas. Also, keracnyl pp cream during the day after using the ridacne facewash. Kindly guide me through. I have curly hair, and have developed 3-6 grey strands when she first gave me the shampoo (1st meeting). Thank you.

dear Vidhu,
seems you have read quite a lot about the medications you are applying. although tar is carcinogenic but application of small amounts in the scalp is not particularly as hazardous. so you might safely use it without any worries. ofcourse with sunscreens since you have acne you need to apply a non comedogenic one.(which is less greasy). the parabens are the preservatives used in the sunscreen which help avaoid the degradation of the product for long term use. As long as you are...more

You ca n use them safely Mr. Sami. Using that face wash may cause little dryness of skin, for which you can apply moisturizing Lotion ( NOT CREAM ) if you feel it is too dry.
