Avatar f tn t get diagnosed but by using the medication and seeing which ones helped to clear the rash, i decided it is ringworm. I used Triamcinolone acetonide on it for the first day. After I stopped, it grew twice as big. So you were right to say that the steroids would make ringworm worse. So after the first day I used lotrimin and it still grew. It's been four days of me putting it on the whole day and it's drying up.

Avatar n tn Hi, I'm a m/23year. I was in high risk because of 8-9 (with condoms)sexual exposures and some of them were homosexual. Indeed, that first one of them was 22 months ago and the last one was 14 months ago.After that, i was freaked out, then 3 months after the last exposure i got tested for STD's & HIV which were all of them Negative. After that, i got tested again for just SDT's which became Negative.
Avatar m tn He has been treated for everything from ringworm to scabies. Many trips to doctors and have tried every cream, ointment and everything from oatmeal to clear finger nail polish. We are at our wits end. Please advise me on what to do. Thanks. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/240582'>rash on entire body</a>.
Avatar f tn She said if it was ringworm he needed to be in seclusion for 8 weeks, have this dip 1 time a week for 8 weeks which will cost $40, and the antibiotic which is $80. She recommends I do this with both cats because my other could be a silent carrier with no symptoms. :S I don't know. I am not doing the dip right now because what a hassle if its not ringworm, and its not like ringworm is a terrifying disease on humans, its just gross.
Avatar m tn If this cream can cure my symptoms before an outbreak, why should it not be used? Thank you for your reply.
Avatar m tn If I used triamcinolone acetonide cream(its suppost to reduce the immune systems responce, I was told) can it take more than 3 months for my results to be conclusive? I haven't taken my 12 week test yet. I've only taken a 5 week test and a 9 week test(both negative) Please help me out, im freaking out!
Avatar f tn If you just want something to add some color, you could try self tanning lotions. But, if it were my child I might take him to another dermatologist for a second opinion. If you are still in the military, I know how difficult "on post or Tri-care" providers can be sometimes. Just be persistent and make demands not requests, it is their job to care of you properly!
Avatar m tn I used some gloves (Nitrile Exam Gloves) and i had a bad irritation because of that. I stoped used the gloves anymore and I went to the doctor. He gaved me NYSTATIN and TRIAMCINOLONE ACETONIDE OINTMENT USP. It worked for a couple of days but then the ointment was gone , and i had no more refill. After only one day, the irritation started again. I went to the doctor again and he gaved me TRIAMCINOLONE ACETONIDE CREAM USP, 0.1%.
Avatar m tn I am thingking that continued exposure to the triggering allergen can be contributing to the other symptoms. I think some investigative thinking on your part to determine what is causing the hives would go a long way in helping relieve all your symptoms. Feel better.
Avatar m tn But, have you known or worked with any HIV/STD experts or Infectious Disease experts from Malaysia? If you do, perhaps you can post it here. Might be helpful to my fellow countrymen. Thanks again, Dr. Handsfield and I wish you a great weekend.
Avatar m tn Tacrolimus is more for an eczema rash- so it might be that you need to be checked for a fungal infection instead. Head back to the doctor, and let them know that it's not working- hope you feel better soon!
Avatar f tn You can google "cure for ringworm". Since it's fungal, there are over the counter creams that are used to treat the spots.
Avatar f tn I also have itchiness, but not too much, some usual pimples, and burning sensation. My lymph nodes are nonexistent to very small. Could it be ringworm? Should I go to the doctor? Oh, and my foot ringworm resurfaced again, same area but only one. My dog doesn't have it but I do alot of gardening and the weather has been humid.
Avatar f tn I have ringworm on my arm and its super itchy! I've been using antifungal cream on it for 3 days and its starting to have mini blisters and its seems to have yellow ***** stuff coming out of it! Its very pink and about the size of a 50c coin! I keep a dressing on it all the time because its contagious but i was wonder how long it will take to heal? Will an oral prescription make it go away quicker? Someone please help!
Avatar f tn Hi, I posted a question a couple weeks ago about my ringworm. ( http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Dermatology/Ive-tried-Lotrimin-AF-and-Ketoconazole---Is-this-really-ringworm/show/1224562?personal_page_id=1360499#post_5599176 ) Since then, I suspected another ringworm infection on my left thumb and began applying Lotrimin on that 2x a day. Then I saw a dermatologist who checked the scrapings of my lesion, which came out as negative.
Avatar n tn I have attached a pic, i hope someone can have a guess at what i have and if using triamcinolone acetonide lotion is the right treatment or not. Thanks for any help, it's driving me nuts and masturbation is painful!
Avatar f tn It is used as an adjunct, but can be used as a monotherapy. Valproate is an effective anticonvulsant. It has been used for effective seizure control for a long time now. Keppra does have these side effects you have mentioned. Lamictal is known to have a serious skin reactions called as Steven Johnson's Syndrome. But all skin reactions do not progress to such a serious level. The skin eruption she had is most probably related to Lamictal. What are the types of seizures she has?
Avatar f tn What does skin atrophy look like? I used a steroid cream Triamcinolone on my face months back. I used it periodically over the course of 3 to 4 months. Now my facial skin looks almost scarred. I can't quite tell if it is permanent scarring or atrophy. Can a steroid cream produce scarring? Is this reversible? How long does it usually take to reverse?
Avatar m tn Don't know for sure but my nephew did have psorisis on his foreheard and it did look like ringworm but it was only on his forehead. You must see a dermatologist to get a proper diagnosis.
