            Frequently asked Questions about Corticom

            Question almost 5 years ago

            Can I use Corticom for treating discolored patches on my skin?

            Dr. Roshni Poonja MBBS , General Physician, Internal Medicine

            Yes, Corticom can be used for the treatment of brown patches on the skin or melasma, however, it is not used alone. It is always used in combination with hydroquinone, isotretinoin and sometimes glycolic acid. Melasma is a common skin condition. It is usually manifested as brown to gray-brown patches on the forehead, bridge of the nose, cheeks, upper lip, and chin. It can also invade forearms and neck. Alongside topical treatment, protection from Sun is also suggested as a treatment. 

            Question about 5 years ago

            Can I apply Corticom for treating ringworm?

            Dr. Abhijit MBBS , General Physician

            No, Corticom is not recommended to be used for ringworm. Ringworm is a fungal infection and it is not caused by any worm. It presents as a silver or red colored patch which may be swollen, itchy, scaly or dry. Ringworm can manifest in any part of the body, including groin (jock itch) and scalp (tenia capitis). The rash is usually ring-shaped on places other than face, neck or scalp. At times, the rash starts spreading. It should be treated using antifungal creams containing ingredients like clotrimazole, miconazole, etc. 

            Question almost 5 years ago

            Can I use Corticom on a diaper rash?

            ravi udawat MBBS , General Physician

            No, Corticom should not be used on a diaper rash as the diaper might contain an occlusive dressing which might be air and water tight causing an irritant effect on the skin of a child. Diaper rash appears as an inflamed skin portion (also known as dermatitis) on the bottoms of a baby. It develops because of wet and infrequently changed diapers, chafing and also because of the skin sensitivity. It can be cured by using good quality diapers, air drying, frequent changing of the diapers and using an ointment containing ingredients like zinc oxide, calendula, etc. 

            Question about 5 years ago

            Can I apply Corticom for treating acne?

            Corticom is a topical corticosteroid which is used for treating conditions like psoriasis and eczema. It is not to be used on face and that too for treating acne. Acne can be treated by using anti-acne preparations containing active ingredients like alpha-hydroxy acids, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, clay, sulfur, etc. Acne is rather one of the side effects caused by Corticom. 

            Question about 5 years ago

            Is Corticom a steroid?

            Dr. Abhijit MBBS , General Physician
