Health Queries

I have multiple keloids on my chest. Should I use Cosvate Cream, or are there other tablets or creams that would be more appropriate for treating my condition?

Cosvate Cream (Clobetasol) is a potent steroid and is usually not recommended for keloids, as it has limited benefit and may cause skin thinning with prolonged use. First-line treatments are usually silicone gel or silicone sheets, or steroid injections directly into the keloid, administered by a dermatologist. Other options include laser therapy, cryotherapy, or combined procedures to reduce size and recurrence. Tablets are generally not helpful for keloids, so it is best to consult a dermatologist for a tailored treatment plan.

I have had dryness, redness, and whitish scaly lines on my left wrist for the past 2 years, which started after frequent use of hospital gloves. A doctor diagnosed dermatitis and prescribed Cosvate Cream, which helped but did not fully resolve the issue. What should I do now?

Since your symptoms began after glove use, you likely have chronic irritant or allergic contact dermatitis that has become lichenified (thickened and leathery skin) due to persistent irritation. Avoid the suspected trigger (hospital gloves) and switch to non-latex or cotton-lined gloves, along with regular application of bland moisturisers. Cosvate Cream (clobetasol) should be used only for short courses, and you may need steroid-sparing treatment such as tacrolimus or pimecrolimus. If the scaling and lines do not improve, consult your doctor to rule out a fungal infection or arrange patch testing to identify any allergy to glove materials or chemicals.

I have a history of eczema on the back of my body below the neck, which has now mostly improved, but I am left with noticeable scars. I am currently using Cosvate Cream, but the marks remain. Are there any homoeopathic remedies that can help reduce these eczema scars?

Pharm D

Cosvate Cream (Clobetasol) is a potent steroid used to treat active inflammation rather than scarring, so it is unlikely to fade lingering marks. There is no strong scientific evidence that homoeopathic medicines can effectively reduce eczema scars. It is better to avoid long-term use of steroid creams without medical guidance and to focus on regular moisturising, sun protection, and avoiding scratching to prevent further darkening. For persistent marks, a dermatologist can advise safe treatments, such as skin-lightening creams, silicone gels, or other procedures, to improve skin tone.
