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.
What is known for certain is that hydroquinone is a strong inhibitor of melanin production and for over 50 years has been established as the most effective ingredient for reducing and potentially eliminating brown skin discolorations on skin often referred to as melasma.
