Lipocortins prevents the release of arachidonic acid which causes synthesis and release of certain chemicals such as histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins that causes inflammation. In this way Sonaderm prevents the skin inflammation which provides relief to the patient from rash, itching, and redness.

Application of Sonaderm on the face must be avoided but if it has been advised by your doctor then you can use it only for a short-term period not more than 5 days because the skin on your face thins easily.
No, Sonaderm alone should not be used for ringworm because it is a fungal infection of the skin caused by fungi such as Trichophyton rubrum and Epidermophyton floccosum and Sonaderm is not an antifungal agent and it is not effective against fungi.
