Since my fungal medication is fat soluble and contains ciclopirox, will it enter the blood stream in enough concentration to affect the accuracy of an hiv antibody test?
2. Would the window period be affected by this medications ability to be absorbed throughout the skin and possibly into the bloodstream?
3. Can I feel comfortable with my current antibody test results?

Hello, everyone.
I have had a rash on my chin (see picture) for about 5 months now. It started out on the right side of my chin. It would come and go randomly without treatment. About a year ago I had some seborrheic dermatitis around my nose and the derm prescribed me Ertaczo (an anti-fungal). That cleared up the rash right away. I went to my primary physician and showed him the rash on my chin mentioning that it looked similar to the rash I originally had around my nose.

Hello,
For folliculitis with fungal causes, antifungal agents such as ketoconazole or ciclopirox are sometimes helpful. Apart from that you need topical and oral antibiotics, antihistamines, oral steroids and topical tretinoin. The skin condition on the penis can be due to eczema or dermatitis skin.

Most treatments are either systemic antifungal medications such as terbinafine and itraconazole, or topical such as nail paints containing ciclopirox or amorolfine. There is also evidence for combining systemic and topical treatments for effective results.
A 2002 study compared the efficacy and safety of terbinafine in comparison with placebo, itraconazole and griseofulvin in treating fungal infections of the nails.
) They dry out my scalp and actually make matters worse. If I work out hard and sweat, or go out in the rain, or wash my hair and not fully dry it immediately, the bumps appear. As long as I can keep it dry, or dry it often when working out, or doing something that causes me to sweat, it's not terribly bad. They are not what I would call real painful, but they are an annoyance. As my hair grows back, the problem gets more pronounced.
So about 3 weeks ago, me and my boyfriend had sex. It was quite painful for me and after that i felt burning 'down there'.
The next few days it was incredibly itchy, but my period came so i couldn't go to the hospital.
After my period, i still had that problem down there, it just wasn't as itchy as before. I tried a few off the counter medications but none seemed to work. I went to the hospital and i was told it was a fungus.
t had a flare up in 20 years. I didnt give it much thought, but two weeks ago they started hurting and the pain unbearable at times. They are about an inch or two, and deep. I am putting off going to the doctor because I dont have the money and I am embarrassed. Just wondering if you have any suggestions or at home treatment I could do. Thank you in advance!

I was too embarrased to tell of the alcohol incident so i just said i was under anxiety and stress. The doctor gave me ketoconazole foam, 2% and a rx for Ciclopirox shampoo. When i apply the foam it burns a bit but the shampoo is a bit better. What i would like to know is why did she do a fungal skin culture? And your suggestion on what the outcome might be. Also i been suffering from anxiety and stress. Im even anxious of the results i have to go back in 3 weeks.
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. You can try any of the over the counter antifungal shampoos like Selsen or Nizoral on these rashes. If the symptoms persist then please consult a dermatologist and get it evaluated.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Greetings Medical Community,
Back in 2007, I went to the barber to get my head shaved completely, the barber noticed that I have bumps of some sort on my head (scalp), I gave it no real attention because after around a month, they were gone, and everything was alright until around 4 months after that, they started popping up again, so I saw a Dermatologist and he said that I have follicutis on the scalp (furuncle and carbuncle) or (Staph), so I started topical creams and an antibiotic for three
Other topicals that are used to treat Pityrosporum folliculitis are ciclopirox olamine cream, econazole cream, alcohol and salicylic acid solution. Retinoids are not very effective. I suggest you to consult a dermatologist and discuss these treatment options with him.
I sincerely hope it helps. Take care and please do keep us posted on how you are doing. Warm regards.
