Uncle recently suffered from skin tinea on his feet, very itchy! When I went to the Internet, I asked some doctors, gave him a diagnosis, and gave me a medicine list.

Corticosteroid symptoms and signs: 1) centripetal obesity, full moon face, fat bulge at nape and back, abdominal bulge, relatively fine muscles of limbs (2) thin and bloody skin, ruddy and fatty face. (3) purple lines are one of the characteristic manifestations of the disease, which are wide in the middle, thin at both ends, purplish red or light red, often distributed symmetrically, mostly in the lower abdomen, buttocks, thighs, etc
Although corticosteroids have good curative effect in the treatment of various types of psoriasis, they are generally not recommended for internal use at present, because the dosage is large and the time is long enough to cause serious side effects of corticosteroids, and after reduction or withdrawal of corticosteroids, severe recurrence of psoriasis or pustular psoriasis may occur
