Avatar n tn Okay I have a skin fungus (perhaps..not sure) that comes and goes. Generally it reappears every summer and during the winter (has been for the past two years). I went to a dermatologist about it last year and he gave me a cream and pills to take for the condition and he had told me that i have a fungus but everything he gave me did absolutely nothing. And at the time it did not itch. It just appeared scaly, flaky, slightly raised, and an orange-y color.

Avatar n tn I have a fungus on my skin. I have some really itchy lines or tiny little red dots in a row of 3 through 6 all over my skin. I pop them & theres this little clear liquid that squirts out. Several months ago I went to the doctor and he said it was a fungus. He gave me a cream & didnt really get rid of them. It just stopped the itching(kind of). Now they actually spread all over my skin. In my Elastic underwear area, my chest, my stomach & the other arm.
Avatar f tn is it possible to get both hand fungus just red rings on palms and below tips of fingers. I got FLAT 1/4 inch rings red clear in the middle and bunched together like honeycomb pattern burning and tingly and throbbing no ITCHING, NO RAISED AREAS ,NO SCALING, NO ERUPTIONS NO DRy AREAS. I did use lamisal at for 2 weeks then per dermatologist took me off then 2 days later got burning back put me on cultavate lotion. I am being told scaling is always present.
Avatar n tn Eczema can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin. Use good quality moisturizers to prevent moisture loss from the skin. If still the symptoms do not improve then pls get a clinical examination done by a dermatologist.Skin biopsy will help in confirming a diagnosis. Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing and if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
Avatar f tn I visited the dermo (skin) dr. She said it was kinda ezcema+ fungus. I applied the given cream (Travocort, Elomet) but it didn't help much. It now spread the whole labium and my inner labium is itchy and painful. Once getting wet/hot, the skin of whole labium and the skin between labium and inner thighs are terribly red. I was given different antifungal cream and didn't work at all. Later, the urethra and vaginal are infected.

Avatar n tn So about three years ago during wrestling season i first noticed this fungus on my groin. The sides of my scrotum were red and very itchy. When itched my skin would flake and fall off. It also had a funny odor to it. I tried many creams and powders but nothing seemed to work. As time passed the fungus moved to my thighs derectly next to my scrotum. But three years later it is no longer red or itchy. It is a white color and looks a little scaly.
Avatar m tn Hello gentleman! So I had sex about 3 or 4 days ago (without a condom) and since I've noticed peeling on the head of my penis, under the foreskin and peeling just around the top of the foreskin. Its painless, not itchy and no blisters and no discharge. It isn't exactly red anywhere, but on the foreskin where some has peeled. Also, it doesn't hurt while passing urine or anything of the sort.
Avatar m tn i had jock itch for years and it has left my skin reddish and scarred on my upper thigh... are there any over the counter medicines that would help my skin heal best?
Avatar n tn Tinea versicolor is caused by a fungus that lives in the skin of almost all adults. Factors that can cause the fungus to become more visible include high humidity and immune or hormone abnormalities. Treatment involves topical and oral antifungal medicines. If the symptoms persist then a dermatologist’s evaluation will be the best. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Avatar f tn i present my feet as moccassin type where I am dry at the heels and my skin turns red burning and only itchy at the dry skin (heels) but painful when starts. I am reading fungus is a scaly raised rash. I present no itching burning a little tingling & throbbing . no scaling ,no raised areas just round circles bunched together 1/4 in. circle size red ring/ sl red Basically can fungus spread that quickly in 24 hours from one site to another on affected body? I am reading 4-10 days.
1485372 tn?1359545131 My husband started out over a year ago with what a first glance looked like ring worm but was diagnosed as a fungus. He began getting red spots anywhere on his body except his face. His back itched and was bumpy and leathery. He was prescribed a fungus cream for the spots and a camphor lotion for the itching. He still has the spots and the itching. He is an alcoholic but the dermatologist said it looked like flea bites. This is totally impossible.
Avatar n tn It also looks cracked and the skin is peeling off. I also found a red, circular, itchy spot next to my thumb, on the same hand. I thought it was a fungus and asked my doctor again. She said lets try with Lamisil cream, which I used for 2 weeks, once a day...and nothing. It's still red and itchy. Is this something that could go away alone? Do I need to continue treatment with Lamisil? I can't take any medication as I am pregnant.
Avatar m tn Care needs to be taken when using cortisone creams as these can thin the skin. Why have you been spraying your private area with an antifungal foot fungus spray? This is not suitable for use on the genitals. Don't do it. You can purchase antifungal creams that are for the specific use on the genitals. Your doctor can prescribe this for your and you can also purchase antifungal creams for use on the genitals from the pharmacy without a prescription.
Avatar m tn Psoriasis is a long-term (chronic) skin problem that causes skin cells to grow too quickly, resulting in thick, white, silvery, or red patches of skin. It is thought that psoriasis occurs when the immune system overreacts, causing inflammation and flaking of skin. Without a biopsy skin it is very difficult to confirm a diagnosis. Hence I suggest you to get a biopsy skin done.
Avatar n tn Hello, From the description of the symptoms,it looks like tinea capitis or ringworm scalp.It is a very common fungal infection among children and teenagers throughout the world. The disease is considered to be a form of superficial mycosis or dermatophytosis. Fungal spores can be transmitted through contact with an infected person, fallen infected hairs, or fomites, which are contaminated objects.The specific pattern depends on the infecting organisms.
Avatar m tn One kind is for fungus infection, and another is for inflatamation. I put on the one for fungus, and my skin got improved after 2 days. Yesterday I put both creams together, and my skin became itchy now. Is it normal? Thanks.
Avatar m tn Hi grace, so I got the results back from the skin biopsy and according to this exam the red dot on my penis is not herpes!!! the results said its dermatitis which is just a skin irritation or rash, they dont know, however, what is causing the small skin irritation on my penis.... they also said that any skin change on genitals could be an early sign of possible hpv infection, but my dermatologist ruled that out because I never developed any sort of wart.
Avatar n tn I have had round red patches before a few years ago on my inner thighs and were told by my regular doctor that it was most likely fungus. I used Clotrimazole Cream 1%. It took a very long time (a year) to get rid of. It was hard to remember to use it every day several times and then it spread to the front of my leg on my shin area. All of a sudden I could practically watch it clear up. Now it is back. It started on the inside of my left upper arm and the same place as before on one side.
Avatar n tn You would have to see a Dr for proper diagnosis. This could be so many different things but does not sound STD related.
Avatar f tn The rashes on my face seem to have cleared (except for one on the bridge of my nose) with Tolnaftate cream but the ones on my arms are worse and some of them are now a mass of raised bumps (resembling excema). The skin on the inside of my legs flared up very red after a shower and during the day the skin looks pale purple and dirty. Recently a small patch of my left leg had marks like pale freckles and were very very itchy.

Avatar m tn If suspected ringworm does not respond to routine antifungal treatment, further diagnostics must be performed, like a skin biopsy, a fungal culture, or a skin scraping for fungus identification. Let us know if you need any further information. It would be advisable to consult a skin specialist for the symptoms and a proper clinical examination. Let us know if you need any other information and post us on how you are doing. Regards.
