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.
Over-the-Counter Corticosteroid Cream. For most people, over-the-counter corticosteroid creams are the first line of defense against the pervasive itch of psoriasis. Hydrocortisone 1% cream is a commonly used OTC anti-itch medication. Hydrocortisone can be highly effective in the short term. For example, one study found that after four weeks, more than two-thirds of people using hydrocortisone saw their psoriasis rash clear up completely.
