Hi, This could be an allergy or a fungal infection of the foot. Tinea Pedis is a parasitic fungal infection of the epidermis of the human foot. Several different fungi, called dermatophytes, can cause tinea pedis. It causes scaling, flaking and itching of the affected skin. Blisters and cracked skin may also occur. It is typically transmitted in moist environments where people walk barefoot, such as showers, bath houses, and locker rooms.

What can I use to cure tinea capitis corporis and pedis after failure in clotrimazole cream,hydrocortisone,ketoconazole tabs,terbinafine tabs,miconazole,clobetasol and gentamycin cream?

Hello, From he information given it does indicate that your friend may indeed have tinea pedis (athlete's foot). Differential diagnosis includes pitted keratolysis. Athlete's foot is a very common condition which is arises due to a fungal infection from either contact with the fungus or contact with fungal skin (communal showers, pools, etc). Treatment modes vary from topical medication through to herbal remedy's.

Hello, I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be due to contact dermatitis, sweat dermatitis or fungal infection(tinea pedis)of the skin of the feet. Keep your feet dry and apply zinc oxide based diaper rash ointment. Most cases of fungal infections respond to over-the-counter products, which contain any of several basic ingredients: miconazole, tolnaftate, terbinafine,ketaconazole and clotrimazole.

Hello, From the symptoms the first possibility is of course of tinea pedis. Tinea pedis may present in several ways, varying from mild chronic scaling to acute lesions that are exfoliative, pustular, or bullous. The second possibility is of dyshidrotic eczema. The first stage is acute and presents as itchy blisters on the hands, fingers and toes. Then the chronic stage shows more peeling, cracking, or crusting. The third possibility is of contact dermatitis.

Hello, Terbinafine oral is not effective against tinea versicolor. However Terbinafine solution (Lamisil) is quite effective in treatment of tinea versicolor. Please discuss this with your doctor and you can get prescribed oral treatment like itraconazole, ketoconazole or fluconazole. I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep us posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.

My question would be is it possible for ones own tinea pedis to spread to the body(tinea corporis) through let's say dirty towels, clothes, bed sheets, etc. Also, in cases of infections like hiv is tinea more widespread/severe because I have three little circles two dime sized(one on my back and one next to my nipple) one quarter sized(upper groin area almost hitting my waistline)on my body that my doctor quickly identified as tinea.

Dear Doctor Thanks for the time and effort you gave ! ! It's Tinea Barbae for sure ; as I've been taking Terbinafine 250 mg po for past 2 wks and the symptoms have dropped by at least 50 % ! ! Topical antifungals have had no effect.

I have had tinea for at least 5 weeks. Tried Athlete's Foot cream / medicine (capsules I cannot remember name of - but 1 per day for 14 days), using Diprosone ointment for +2 weeks, Selenium Sulphide shampoo for 2 weeks (covered affected areas, allowed to dry for 1 hr and then showered off before putting on the Diprosone ointment). It is still there - mainly two areas on my chest on which I am now using Betadine. Is this time span normal.

One differential for this is a fungal infection called tinea pedis. The lesions ( allow me to call them lesions) of tinea pedis are usually found in between the digits of the lower extremities.The skin becomes soft and a bit macerated.That is, you may easily slough them off.The lesions are also itchy. I advise that you seek consult wth your physician so this may be assessed and you may be prescribed the right medications.

Also, why is it so different than all the examples online could it have possibly been a misdiagnoses?

could be from eczema,psoriasis, you should check with a dermatologist.

Strangely enough, by the way, topical terbinafine can sometimes be helpful in tinea versicolor but is not an ideal treatment for it. There are a number of skin conditions that can behave the way you describe, like scabies, eczema, psoriasis, pityriasis lichenoides and many others. I recommend a consultation with a board certified dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

What do you want me to tell you, you did not have a risk for HIV. See a Dr for your symptoms.

Hello, Since these dark patches are not itchy, so an important possibility is of tinea versicolor. It is a common skin infection caused by the yeast Malassezia furfur.
