That yours responds to ciclopirox (Loprox) favors yeast as the cause, but not necessarily. Perhaps any moisturizing cream plus local hygiene -- foreskin retraction and washing -- would be equally effective.
To be certain there isn't a separate problem causing the apparent irritation/inflammation of your meatus (urethral opening), talk with your doctor about a urine or urethral swab test for gonorrhea and chlamydia, if not done before now. But I expect these would be negative.
After meeting with him, he prescribed a topical solution known as Loprox. Loprox is expensive as it costs about $100 per bottle at the pharmacy. You are supposed to put it on the infected areas about 30 minutes before you take a shower each day for the first 2 weeks, then just a few times a week thereafter. While I did notice small improvement immediately, it was not until about 5 straight months of consistent treatment before the ugly discoloration was gone.
Prior the the potential exposure, I was prescribed a topical nail fungus medication (ClearNails Pro) that is fat soluble and claims to penetrate to the nail bed. This medication contains a drug called ciclopirox which was recently discovered to kill hiv infected cells in vitro. The percentage of ciclopirox is 6 percent.
1. 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?
Hello,
Well, I had unprotected sex with my girlfriend on september 5th a couple of times that day. 3 days later, i saw red spots on my penis, no sores, no white fluid, nothing like that on my penis and the foreskin. I went to the doctor because I was afraid I might have gotten herpes, but he said no and prescribed me Loprox (1% cream top). He told me to use that for a week and it would clear itself out.
i have a red blister like spot on the head of my penis, it does not itch nor does it burn when i urinate, i went to the doctor and told me it wasn't a SDT and thought that it may be a fungis and gave me Loprox cream to use which i have been for a week now and there hasn't been much change, i was hoping that someone could tell me what else i could do to make it go away faster or what else it could posibly be.
yeah your prob right grace, just paranoid i guess my ex gf has cold sores, after the last sexual encounter in may i developed balanitis which my doctor treated with loprox. but my penis was fine from may until now, thanks for the response.

I have this theory that my body is attacking my chin area's skin cells, therefore breaking down my skin barrier or turning cell turnover too rapidly, which may make the cells clump up in my pores. How do I get to the gist of it and stop it?
The scalp should be washed with a mild normal shampoo as often as desired. Antidandruff shampoos containing 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.
My sincere advice is to get it examined from a dermatologist.

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.

tar shampoo, dandruff shampoo, ketoconazole shampoo (this worked beautifully for YEARS), Loprox shampoo, Derma-smoothe, apple cider vinegar (this was desperation), verdeso foam. I have been under major stress for the last year and a half, and that is when the keto shampoo stopped working. The Loprox didn't work. Derma-smoothe seems like it sort of works, but not like it did the first few times I used it.

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.

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.
now i have been back to him on numerous occassions and i keep getting anti fungul meds,(loprox, mycelex, and others to no avail i just recently had sex with my wife and again it flared up but now it is very painful and looks and feels like when you scrape your knee my wife has never shown any signs of anything and we have been together 9 years with two healthy children could it be too much friction?
I went to the Doctor and was prescribed Loprox CRM + EMO Cort and antibiotics for the gland. The rash and gland did not go away with this treatment. The fat gland was opened up and drained.
I was sent to a Dermatologist who prescribed 1% Clindamycin in Elidel cream for the morning and Protopic Ointment .1% for the evening. During that period, I have had small pimples come and go (within a few days) on my legs, thighs and buttocks.
