Avatar m tn Hello, The symptoms are suggestive of dyshidrotic eczema and not a skin fungus. Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps. For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid may be used (e.g.
Avatar n tn Help Me Please!!! I have not had much luck with my skin starting since I was about 19, when I was diagnosed with psoriasis. No doubt I have that but now they say I have either Eczema or a Fungus. My dermatologist at the TTU medical center say Eczema and the Allergist I went to says it's a fungus. Here are some of the symptoms to my problems. First of all it can either be a clutter of little bumps or just one little bump but no matter what they itch like crazy.
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 n tn If what I have is a fungus, is it totally not contagious as I have been told by other doctors. I am concerned about my husband as it is on my tummy and thighs. Also what causes a fungus in the first place and will the symptoms continue to come back when I get rid of them again. I mean is it in my system for good or will it be completely gone with the right treatment.
Avatar n tn Hi, The two most common causes of that type of symptom would be athletes foot or an eczema (dermatitis), an irritation to the skin from some kind of external factor. If it were a reaction to an external factor I suspect it would be occurring on both feet. So without actually examining you I will lean towards athletes foot. Two things must be accomplished to control athletes foot. 1.
Avatar f tn First of all, the exact cause of seborrheic dermatitis is not properly understood and the prime cause is thought to be an yeast (fungus) called Malassezia. This fungus is one of the normal microscopic life forms that grow, along with certain bacteria, in your skin's oily secretion (sebum). Other than that, there are some aggravating factors like change of season (more in winters), stress and fatigue and immune status ( can be found in immunocompromised patients like HIV).
569705 tn?1217017492 I have had it since Aug 2007. The dr. gave me pamphlets on hand eczema and the paper said that some eczema is associated with a fungus that also affects the soles of your feet. When I intially went to the dr my feet where already infected. The nails on my hands are also discolored and grow in what I can only describe has "ripples" and crumble off. I have been seeing this dr since January and am not happy with my progress.
Avatar n tn You may be experiencing multiple problems. Fungus causes eczema or dermatitis like problems. I too used fungal medications. They made a huge difference. But it always came back. The steroids always made it worse. My allergist suggested that I get my immune response to fungus tested. Thinking that my immune system didn't act on organisms that are found on the body readily. I started using tea tree oil soap and it helped but nothing has made it go away.
Avatar n tn May be they are what is in this listing... but it's definately something you should get checked by a physician. If it is a sexually transmitted disease you should not postpone treatment as this could result in major issues down the line. As you said there is pain, while this individual just had the inflammtion and white heads, not trying to scare you or freak you out but don't put off something that may have become an issue after you had sexual contact.

Avatar m tn Hello. I have suffered from dyshidrotic eczema for over 6 years. It was on my hands and constantly itching forming blisters and it was just terrible. However I was prescribed a steroid cream and it works great. However it seems like I have patches of eczema on my elbows and one under my arm. They itch very bad, get inflammed and weep and scab over. Is this also dyshidrotic eczema? Or another type of eczema or possibly psoriasis?
Avatar m tn Hello, This rash can be due to contact dermatitis, eczema , psoriasis or fungal infection causing tinea corporis. Eczema is a form of chronic dermatitis (rash).Allergic reaction is one of the important causes of eczema. Allergic reaction can occur to strong soaps, certain foods, plants, metals, cosmetics, dust mites etc. The other possibility is or a chronic fungal infection or psoriasis.
Avatar n tn It looks similar to what I have. But I took a test and it turned out to be a fungus. I advise you to find a lab where you can test it for fungus. If not a fungus, then it's probably dyshidrotic eczema like the other person said.
Avatar m tn are they scaly or are the dry red rough patches and do the ever weep clear fluid or develop what look like small blisters if so you may have eczema or psorisis which both can not be cured the symptoms can only be managed so see if your parents can take you to see a dermatologist
Avatar n tn Did you try Lotrimin? Jock itch looks just like eczema. The fungus causes the same reaction from the skin. Use the cream twice a day for two weeks, even if it gets better.
Avatar m tn In particular, Tinea cruris is the fungal infection of the groin region. This causes itching or a burning sensation in the groin area, thigh skin folds, or anus. Affected areas may appear red, tan, or brown, with flaking, rippling, peeling, or cracking skin. The rash appears as raised red plaques and scaly patches with sharply defined borders that may blister and ooze.
Avatar f tn Hi This sounds like case of dermatitis or eczema. Dishydrotic eczema is usually noted in the hands or feet. This may be due to prolonged exposure to water and certain chemicals. It may start as vesicles containing clear fluid. The vesicles may itch and this may affect areas of normal skin. Dishydrotic eczema thins the skin and makes it fragile. Irritant or xerotic eczema is another differential here. This form of eczema is due to exposures to certain irritants which may dry the skin.
Avatar f tn I live in a climate where 'sweating' is an olympic sport of its own ...in the recent past had a 'rash' that P.A. (couldn't see dermatologist-handles now only cancer-related situations-in process of finding new doctor) who thought the existing 'whatever' was a fungus+ -prescribed Alcortin bid + Zeabsorbe-use till rash is 'gone' ... it worked .
Avatar m tn Grace thanks a lot for your answer.. Can I ask something related to other STD's? In case you might know is there any STD that is related to eczema (penis skin is dry, redish and pealing)? Its very weird cause I have had eczema in the past but after I got the following treatment I was fine in 7 days: 1) "ketrozol 200" tablets and 2) combination of Mycoril Cream 1% in the evening and Nystalocal cream in the morning.
Avatar n tn Hello, The symptoms are suggestive of eczema. Eczema is a form of chronic dermatitis (rash).Allergic reaction is one of the important causes of eczema. Allergic reaction can occur to strong soaps, Solvents, chemicals, certain foods, food additives, plants, metals, cosmetics, even urine and faeces of some animals (dust mites). Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites.
Avatar m tn It is caused by overgrowth of fungus and that causes flaky, dry, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas on the face, upper torse and sometimes the genitalia. Treatment for both is entirely different and so I would suggest a dermatologist’s evaluation to confirm the diagnosis first. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing. Warm regards.

Avatar m tn I'm wondering if you have eczema on the legs. The large blochy red rashes sound like it could be that instead of a fungus. I have eczema it came on all of a sudden and I can't get rid of it. I have it off and on. Eczema can be caused by irritants like a detergent or other things you became allergic to. Or scents, or also dry skin, allergy to dust mites , some say a autoimmune problem etc.
Avatar m tn I noticed for the last week a 2mm circular/oval shaped flaky dry red patch at the base of the penis (on the top of the shaft near my pelvis) I dont have any on the glans. When i rub the "flake" off it leaves a light red/pinkish color, and is shinnier than the surrounding skin. It is flush with my skin, as in not raised or indented in any way. The spot is painless and has no raised red borders, discharge, fever, chills, etc. it DOES NOT itch.
Avatar m tn I need help, this is getting old and nerving. Im not even sure if this is a fungus from having sex with my gf who tends to have yeast infections.
Avatar m tn My wife suffers from a severe condition since she was a little child. Skin rashes that come and go, on her arm, legs, face, all over her body. They are red, ich a lot and and the skin peels off like it was dust. We have spent all the money possible (and impossible) to figure this out. We've been to all sorts of doctors, who have suggested many different causes such as food allergies (lactose, gluten, fruits and the list goes on...), psychological problems, stress, fungus...
