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.
That was the first sign I have Celiac disease.
To treat the problem immediately, avoid scratching because it scars the scalp and hair won't grow. Try Nizoral shampoo to get the skin unclogged and any scales off. Get tested for Celiac disease. You can use any of these to avoid scratching: hydrocortizone 1% cream (I hate the liquid "lotions" that the doctors love), Benadryl gel (very cooling) or even aloe vera gel. Just don't scratch. Stop eating sugary foods and drinks.
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?
Are you using that medication as recommended by a doctor? Has he been seen by a doctor? It doesn't sound like herpes, but clearly he should be checked out.
Unfortunately, it is returning after this gel is discontinued. I tried an OTC anti-fungal cream for two applications 12 hours apart with no real improvement. She also has a small to moderately sized area of cradle cap on her scalp. The cradle cap has been present off/on since infancy. I plan on trying an OTC dandruff shampoo to see if that will help.
Can both the facial rash and flared up cradle cap be related?
Treatment is by shaving the affected area. Benzoyl peroxide gel, antibacterial washes and antiperspirants may also be helpful.
Topical clindamycin is helpful in refractory or extensive cases. Additional recommended agents include naftifine hydrochloride cream (1%), which has been used for its combined antifungal and antibacterial actions.
Piedra is an asymptomatic superficial fungal infection of the hair shaft.
I told my doctor at the time about my exzema outbreaks, and he prescribed triamcinolone acetonide cream usp, 0.5% by a company named Fougera. I used it ocassionaly for about a year or maybe a little more whenever exzema appeared on my penis. The cream worked extremely well and I no longer have problems with exzema on my penis. Now though, I have noticed that the skin on my shaft is particularly delicate. Is there anything I can do to reverse this thinning?
Now my forehead and right side of my cheek. I purchased T-gel shampoo for my itchy scalp and using the calamine lotion but now it hurts to put on clothes. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I purchased a few OTC creams for itch but they burned so I threw them out. Not sure what else to do?
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,
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.
My sincere advice is to get it examined from a dermatologist.
It may just look like a lot of bumps. Dont scratch it. I recomend you use Fougera, a hydrocortisone ointment. I use it and it is very helpful.

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.
