Skin Care is the place for problems you can see: stubborn acne, an itchy rash, eczema or psoriasis patches, a cold sore, athlete's foot, warts, scabies or a scar. Many of the medicines are creams, gels and ointments; others are tablets and capsules. Below they are sorted by the problem they treat, and every ingredient page lists each version of its medicine.

Acne and retinoids

Acne is the biggest group. Retinoids lead it: tretinoin as Tretinoin Cream and Retin-A Cream for acne and fine wrinkles, Adapalene tubes for acne vulgaris, Tazorac (tazarotene) for acne and psoriasis, and isotretinoin capsules such as Tretiva for severe acne. The tretinoin group also includes Retin-A Gel, Renova for fine wrinkles and A-Ret, while Isofair (also sold as Isotroin) is another isotretinoin name. Isotretinoin causes birth defects, as does acitretin, so pregnancy must be avoided on either. Oral antibiotics sit alongside for acne: Doxycycline, Minocin, Minomycin, and the tetracyclines Sumycin and Tetracycline.

Eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis

Corticosteroid creams calm inflammation and itch. Betnovate (betamethasone) is listed for eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis, and is also sold as Betamethasone Valerate cream; Clobetasol 0.05% is the stronger option for severe dermatitis, with Elocon (mometasone) and Synalar (fluocinolone) alongside. Mild Cortaid (hydrocortisone) covers itching and redness. Combinations add a second ingredient: Fusiderm B with fusidic acid for infected skin, and Lotrisone with clotrimazole for fungal infection with inflammation.

Steroid-free eczema options are Elidel (pimecrolimus) and Protopic (tacrolimus). For psoriasis there are Heximar Ointment (calcipotriol), Wynzora (calcipotriene with betamethasone) and, as capsules, Soriatane (acitretin) for severe psoriasis and Oxsoralen (methoxsalen) for psoriasis and vitiligo. Aczone (dapsone) tablets are listed for dermatitis herpetiformis, a blistering rash.

Infections, infestations and skin growths

Fungal skin infections are covered by Lomexin Cream (fenticonazole), Luzu 1% (luliconazole), Micatin and Micogel 2% (miconazole), for athlete's foot, jock itch and ringworm. Herpes is treated with Acyclovir Cream 5% for cold sores and Aciclovir tablets for herpes simplex, chickenpox and shingles. Elimite and Permethrin tubes (both permethrin) treat scabies and lice, and Eurax (crotamiton) is a cream for scabies and itchy skin. Growths and warts: Aldara (imiquimod) for actinic keratosis and genital warts, Efudex (fluorouracil) for actinic keratosis, and Podowart (podophyllum resin) for genital warts.

Pigment, scars, hair and mouth care

Skin tone comes next: Hydroquinone 4% tubes treat hyperpigmentation, age spots and melasma, the patchy darkening linked to sun and hormones. Contractubex and Scarend Silicone Gel are for scars and keloids. Vaniqa (eflornithine) slows unwanted facial hair. For the mouth, Orahelp is listed for mouth ulcers and sore gums, and Mucopain (benzocaine) for mouth pain. Voltaren Gel (diclofenac) is a topical pain reliever for muscles and joints, and Zincoheal and Zinconia are zinc tablets.
