Propysalic NF

No, Propysalic NF 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 Propysalic NF is not an antifungal agent and it is not effective against fungi. Hence Propysalic NF should not be used for the treatment of ringworm. For the treatment of ringworm, you can use a combination of Propysalic NF and antifungal drugs such as miconazole and fluconazole.

Propysalic NF contains clobetasol which is presumed to work by promoting the induction of inhibitory proteins (lipocortins) in the body. 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 Propysalic NF prevents the skin inflammation which provides relief to the patient from rash, itching, and redness.

No, Propysalic NF should not be discontinued without doctors advice. You are recommended to always consult a doctor before discontinuing this medicine.

Yes, Propysalic NF may cause skin discoloration or color changes. It is a rare side effect of this drug. However, the exact cause behind skin discoloration is not known but it is more likely to occur if the skin is covered with a dressing after applying this drug. So you are advised to not cover your skin with a dressing after applying this drug. 

Application of Propysalic NF 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.
