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.
Before and after using hydroquinone for 3 months for melasma. Hydroquinone works by decreasing the production and increasing the breakdown of melanosomes (melanin pigment granules) in the skin's pigment cells (melanocytes). It does this by inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase, the enzyme needed to make melanin.
