What Are The Side Effects Of Tenovate-M?

Hello Doctor, Is there any side effects of Using TENOVATE-M cream. I am using it as I have dark pacthes due to sun-burn and the cream is very effective. Does it lead to dandruff or fungal infection in skin-leading to white/black patches? The below link shows alarming side effects. Is it true? https://www.healthkartplus.com/details/drugs/72490/tenovate-m-15-gm

Hi
Welcome to health care magic. Tenovate-M contains steroid and antifungal, the drug is very good for use in particular skin condition and it should be avoided on face because the skin of face is very thin and it can cause depigmentation hypo/hyper pigmentation or permanent disfigurement of the face due to a trophy of skin and on long term use there can be additional problems of skin like aggressive fungal infections.
The cream should be used only for skin of areas other than face and under the guidance of a local clinician.
Please discontinue the use of this cream on the face to avoid any further damage and consult a physician of your locality as soon as possible for your problems.
I hope the advice will be helpful for you.
