Please suggest treatment for facial spots
Patient: hi , i m kaushik 23 yrs old. I had chicken pox 3 weeks ago . I got some spots in my face.I consulted a doctor .He gave me triglow cream ,drantox cap and one sunscreen lotion. Those spots are now becoming reddish . i am fearing that the products might have any side effects or they work like this only.......Plz help me out... Doctor: Hello Kaushik,Welcome to HCM.It seems you have got local irritation to the cream (TRIGLOW) you have used. It called Contact irritant dermatitis.Nothing to worry as your skin will be fine soon.I would advise you a weel course of oral prednisolone in low dose (5-10mg).Apply a mild cortisosteroid like desonide and antibiotic like fusidc acid twice a day.After good quality moisturiser like cetaphil DAM twice a day over full face.Avoid use of any cosmetics/facewash for few days.Avoid direct sun exposure and use water-based sunscreen before stepping out in sun.Hope this was useful.Take care Dr Hardik Pitroda
