Tenovate Cream is indicated for the relief of inflammation, redness, swelling and itching associated with corticosteroid-responsive skin conditions. It is also used for the treatment of autoimmune skin disorders such as psoriasis (scaly, itchy, and red patches on the skin), lichen planus (purplish, itchy, and flat bumps on the wrists, forearms, or legs), discoid lupus erythematosus (red, coin-shaped scales or crusts on the scalp, cheeks, and ears), and eczema (red and itchy skin). It contains Clobetasol, which reduces swelling, redness, and itching by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation.

Health Queries

I have had rashes on my wrist and thigh joints for the last three weeks. What medicine or ointment would be suitable to help?

Dr. S Aneela

For rashes on your wrist and thigh joints, a mild over-the-counter steroid cream, such as hydrocortisone, may help reduce inflammation and itching. Regular use of a gentle moisturiser will protect your skin barrier. Avoid irritants, scratching the affected areas, and using harsh soaps. If the rash does not improve within 1-2 weeks or worsens, please see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I have keloids on my chest and currently use Kayavate cream. Could you recommend the best option among Tenovate M, NM, GN, or G creams for treating keloids, or suggest an alternative?

Dr. S Aneela

Dr. S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

None of the combination creams you mentioned is effective for treating keloids, as they are intended for skin infections rather than scar tissue. The most effective treatments for keloids are silicone gel sheets or steroid injections administered by a dermatologist, as topical creams often fail to penetrate the thick scar tissue.

What could be the cause of red marks on the skin?

Dr. S Aneela

Dr. S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

Various factors, including allergies, insect bites, heat rash, eczema, or fungal infections, may cause red marks on the skin. They may also appear due to soap irritation, weather changes, or friction. Please consult your doctor or a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis, as the appropriate treatment depends on the underlying cause.

My mother has a skin problem and has mostly been using Fungotek cream along with Tenovate cream. Is this the correct treatment?

Dr. S Aneela

Dr. S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

Fungotek cream (Terbinafine) is appropriate for treating fungal skin infections. Tenovate cream (Clobetasol) is a potent steroid that may temporarily reduce inflammation, but long-term use without medical supervision can thin the skin and worsen fungal infections. Your mother should consult her doctor or dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and receive appropriate treatment.

I have severe skin rashes and itchy spots. What treatment should I follow?

Dr. S Aneela

Dr. S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

Severe skin rashes and itchy spots may occur due to an allergy, eczema, a fungal infection, or another underlying skin condition. You should consult your doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment, which may include oral or topical antifungals, steroids, or antihistamines, depending on your condition. In the meantime, keep the area clean and dry, avoid scratching, and use a soothing moisturiser for relief. Do not use any medication without medical advice.
