As the infection progresses, oozing sores and crusty scabs, typical of hot spots on dogs, begin to develop. Hot spots on dogs are just one type of canine pyoderma (a bacterial skin infection), known as canine acute moist dermatitis. Other types of canine pyoderma include: 1  Cellulitis. 2  Impetigo. 3  Skin fold pyoderma. 4  Juvenile pyoderma. 5  Deep pyoderma. 6  Interdigital pyoderma.
Indication. 1  Tri-Luma Cream is a combination of fluocinolone acetonide (a corticosteroid), hydroquinone (a melanin synthesis inhibitor), and tretinoin (a retinoid) that is indicated for the short-term treatment of moderate to severe melasma of the face, in the presence of measures for sun avoidance, including the use of sunscreens.
According to a recent study published in Dermatologic Surgery, combining Jessner solution and trichloroacetic acid may be a more effective treatment for melasma in dark-skinned patients than trichloroacetic acid alone.
