Then a dermatologist suggested me terbinafine and fluconazole, but it dint give much result. I tried ketoconazole soap and oitment also and it got worse. Then again I tried itraconazole 100mg twice for a month, i was cured within 10 days. But again this recurrent jock itch keeps on coming back. I am tried of taking itraconazole and applying oitment, i even wear loose cotton undergarments and change it everyday. I keep the area clean and dry.
I have been treated with Nystatin, Ketoconazole, Clotrimazole, Clotimazole and Betamethasone Dipropionate, fluconazole and itraconazole, one at a time over many months.
The red inflamed area has still not gone but is not painful anymore..
I have seen an internest, a dermatologist and an infectious disease specialist.
Any suggestions?
I found out a rash on parts of my chest and abdomen is tinea versicolor (spelling?). The dermatologist prescribed Ketoconazole cream. Anyone know if that is safe to use with Lyme Disease.? I looked online but found only mentions of the pill.
Then I went for a check up and the doctor prescribed me itraconazole 100 mg and terbinafine 250 mg oral solution and Luliconazole cream. Infection was cured completely. But now again it has appeared on my body. Specifically on my neck. I am having the same oral solution and using Clotrimazole topical cream. But it's not effective like before. Instead of being cured it's spreading. I am also using ketoconazole soap for bathing.
s widespread, that can be hard to do. Oral itraconazole and ketoconazole are safe and effective. You should discuss these options with your doctor.
Thanks.

It is less messy and preferably easy to use than the Selsun and Ketoconazole shampoos which needs to applied on the patches of affected skin after an evening bath, left to dry the whole night and washed off the next morning. For widespread or stubborn infections, itraconazole tablets have shown good results in curative aspects.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
The less toxic and more effective triazole compounds fluconazole and itraconazole have largely replaced ketoconazole for internal use. Ketoconazole is best absorbed at highly acidic levels, so antacids or other causes of decreased stomach acid levels will lower the drug's absorption when taken orally. Absorption can be increased by taking it with an acidic beverage, such as cola.
Selenium sulphide lotion can be applied for around 10-15 minutes, rinsed off and re-applied daily for about a week.

over the last few months, my medic tried ketoconazole (for months), nystatin (2 full 10 day courses), and gentian violet (for about 4-5 days) - with no results... which led to this point.
then i tried 100mg daily for 10 days of fluconazole, the symptoms started to rapidly fade, then slowly taper to near non-existence toward the 10th day.
then i moved to itraconazole, it looks like 400-500mg daily for 10 days.
I then decided to visit my GP and he prescribed me Ketoconazole topical and sent me off. I then used the Ketoconazole cream on my foreskin and the inflammation went down in around 3 days. After the inflammation wore off I used the cream on the red rash on my glans, after using it for over 3 weeks I saw no improvement. Instead, the area in which I used the cream on (The middle part of the glans down to the corona) was shiny and somewhat sensitive.
ketoconazole, fluconazole, itraconazole, terbinafine ( I have tried these 4 drugs in oral and topical form) I have also tried selsun shampoo and all of these have failed. I was wondering if there was anymore hope for me? Is there anymore antifungal pill I can take? Due to my rash not responding well to 3 azole antifungals does this mean it won't respond to any of the other azole antifungals? And are there anyother antifungal that are effective that arnt azole?

Hello,
For pityriasis versicolor, Selenium sulphide lotion can be applied for around 10-15 minutes, rinsed off and re-applied daily for about a week.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.

What is the connection between itraconazole and hemmorhagic stroke in an otherwise healthy male with no pre-existing conditions to cause a stroke?
- Shampoos: Ketoconazole 2% (on average twice a week for 2 years), tar (2-3 different types), other shampoos (zinc etc - 5-6 different types),
- Hormones and lotions: Diprolen gel (14 days) and a cutane solution of adrenal hormones (interval treatment 6 weeks; according to pharmacist this solution was the strongest available (prescription).
Diagnosed by external examination,wood lamp examination and KOH wet mount microscopy.Traetment includes ketoconazole (nizoral) or selenium sulfide shampoo.Severe cases may need itraconazole capsules (Sporanox).
Hope it helps.take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing and if you have any additional queries.
Thats correct and you are eating the wrong way
I used most of the antifungal creams that the doctor had been prescribing me, but nothing helped. She also prescribed me itraconazole tablets at the end, but to use only for a week. During the therapy, it started being a bit better, but after 7 days it started itching and turned back as before. I also used terbinafine cream at the same time, (for 3red time). I also used ketoconazole shampoo several times. Please if someone have advice what to do bcs my doctor don't know what do do as well.
Due to the risk of life-threatening and fatal toxicity, patients with renal or hepatic impairment should not be given colchicine in combination with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors such as itraconazole, ketoconazole, voriconazole, nefazodone, delavirdine, protease inhibitors, and ketolide and certain macrolide antibiotics. In patients with normal renal and hepatic function, the dosage of colchicine should be reduced when used with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors or within 14 days of using them.
However, if the patient remains symptomatic after 4 weeks, therapy with itraconazole, 200 mg daily for 6 to 12 weeks, can be given. Patients who have severe outbreak-associated histoplasmosis and all immunosuppressed patients should be treated. Initial therapy with amphotericin B, 0.7 to 1 mg/kg daily, can be followed by oral itraconazole after a favorable response is noted. Antifungal therapy should be given to all patients with chronic pulmonary histoplasmosis.
I am on week four, this diet is making me miserable, and I am now taking Itraconazole. I only wanted to breathe, and I only used the inhaler 6 times total. This seems ridiculous to still have this infection, and I only want to know how to be rid of it. Can anyone please advise?
