Re: Darkened Skin on Face
Good evening! I would prefer if you would use a milder steroid for example eumovate or betnovate 1:4 dilution or synalar 1:4 - 1:10 dilution. But if you must to use Elocon , I would recomend to use it sparingly on face and no more that 3-4 times a week. If it does not help, please consult your derma...

Re: Firm white bump on nose
HI
without examining it, it is impossible to say what it is, and whether it is a skin cancer or not.
Non melanoma skin cancers are rare in 30s but not unheard of.
You need to see your GP or a skin specialist to establish what it is.

Re: Psoriasis scarring
Hello when psoriasis resolves it often leaves discoloration which usually fades away with time. I think this is what is happening in your case. we do not recomend super potent topical steroids in patients with psoriasis because they can sometimes cause skin atrophy (permanent marks), but we use mild...

You will probably also need moderately potent steroid ointment, you may need to try to find a do...

But lesions of psoriasis is often colonised by staphiloccocus aureus infection, which usually does not affect psoriasis itself. However, because of the location I wonder if you may hav...
