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.
Azelaic acid is a non-hydroquinone cream that can be used to treat melasma. Studies have reported that 15%-20% azelaic acid was very effective and safe in melasma, although the overall results are significantly less impressive than 4% hydroquinone. There are no major complications reported with azelaic acid.
