Avatar f tn I went to the doctor and was told I had nail fungus and needed Lamisil. One tablet, once a day for 3 months. They took and ran tests of my blood to test my liver and they said all tests came back normal. They went ahead and said to begin taking the medication. I'm 21 and relatively healthy. I'm afraid to take Lamisil though. I've heard the side effects are horrible. Should I be worried?
Avatar n tn I have been diagnose with a skin fungus infection (dermamytocosis) and the dermatologist has prescribed Lamisil (terbinafine hydrochloride) very strong tablets with quite a few side effects. I would like to try natural alternatives like apple cider vinegar but could the infection spread out or perhaps can resolved by itself over time. Will I be prone to get fungus infections in the future?
Avatar f tn It is used to treat infections caused by fungus that affect the fingernails or toenails. Lamisil oral granules are used to treat a fungal infection of scalp hair follicles in children who are at least 4 years old. It is important to take this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take it in larger amounts or for longer than recommended.

Avatar f tn For people who have tinea versicolor, Can they have it and then it goes away (so does not show up on the test) but still have the spots as side effects?
Avatar m tn Hello, Triamcinolone is a high potency steroid and is not without side effects. Regarding the fungal infection, wash the area and then dry thoroughly by pat drying, not rubbing. It is important that the skin is not damp because the damp skin is an ideal site for fungi to multiply. Also wear cotton underwears and change them twice a day. Also apply topical antifungals like Lamisil or Monistat. Severe cases may need oral antifungals for which I suggest you to consult a dermatologist.
Avatar n tn It has not responded to Lamisil ointment (antifungal) or an antibiotic ointment or to a week long course of oral Cephalexin. It's mostly on one side, but starting to also appear on the other side. Any ideas of what to try or what it might be?
Avatar m tn lamisil as in the foot cream?
Avatar m tn Immediately I started applying Lamisil (terbinafine) every morning till today. All the redness and everything else is gone, but if I look at the skin from the side, I can still see the "circles" (in slightly different skin tone) where the fungi was located... does it mean that I'll have to keep on applying the cream for longer till I don't see those circles?
Avatar n tn My son is a competitive wrestler and picked up tinea corporis and tinea capitis about five weeks ago. Lamisil reduced, but couldn't completely clear the tinea corporis, so his pediatrician prescribed econzole nitrate cream which has pretty much killed it. However, the tinea capitis which started at his scalp line has migrated into his hair. Our pediatrician didn't feel comfortable prescribing oral medication, so we went to a dermatologist who gave him Griseofulvin.
1652119 tn?1301725969 m now switching over to oral Griesofulvin as the side effects of oral Terbinafine are pretty much unbearable (resembles a cold but with more sneezing ; at times I also get 'breathless' ie my mind feels that my breaths are not supplying O2 to my brain---wierd is'nt it ?).
107693 tn?1252864443 now they are back and they very itchy and they also hurt when you touch that area. Lamisil had bad side effects, bad for the liver... Is there an alternative way to cure this...
Avatar f tn I had a fungus develop on the side of my finger. It spread to the finger next to it. Doctor put me on lamisil tablets 250 mg. I have been on the medication for 11 days and it does not appear to be helping. The fungus has spread to other parts of my hand and even to the other hand. I called the doctor's office and nurse told me to give it 2 weeks.
Avatar f tn I might be in the wrong forum as well but I was prescribed lamisil after a positive test for Onychomycosis on my toenails. I was told to take one tablet a day for 3 months. My doctor did check my liver before starting and he called to say everything was normal and to go forth with the treatment. I've heard so many bad things from hair loss, death, loss of taste and I'm so scared.
Avatar n tn Also apply topical antifungals like Lamisil or Monistat. Severe cases may need oral antifungals for which I suggest you to consult a dermatologist as they are not without side effects. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Avatar f tn m hoping for opinions concerning a new drug my dermatologist has added. Prescribed Lamisil 250 mg for 24 wks, (oral). He is drawing liver profile labs every month. I guess I'm alittle worried since I just got rid of the virus in January, an this med. can possibly be rough on the liver. I have an extremely painful case of fungal nails for years. I'm not that vain, an would let them remove the nails permanently, but dr.
Avatar f tn Hi and sorry you have these problems. We are not doctors on these sites but I am a microbiologist and understand your situation. Have you taken a lot of anti-fungal medication and if so what types? Also have you taken antibiotics before you got C-diff? I assume since you are taking probiotics because you know that getting your intestinal bacteria out of whack can promote getting C. diff.
Avatar m tn I had unprotected oral sex with a person 2 days ago where i was receiving. I woke up 5 hours later to a rash of small red bumps on the head of my penis and inside my foreskin. Also, on the tip of my penis i have what looks like a white patch. Any ideas? I have no fever and as far as i can tell no swelling. The bumps are not itchy. I am currently applying Lamisil Spray( terbinfine) hoping it is a yeast infection. Any ideas?

Avatar m tn m stuck on a long business trip at the moment but when I get back I intend to see an oral surgeon about it again. The last time I saw an oral surgeon she only looked at it and said it was geographic tongue, after asking me if I have had an HIV test(I am negative). This stuff must be like a red light for HIV or something, every time I show it to another doctor it's the first thing they ask.
Avatar n tn I found some tiny red spots on the inner side of my little finger, of my right hand, approximately 2 months ago. It was very itchy and I thought it was an insect bite. I am pregnant, and talked to my OB/GYN and she thought it might be just a skin allergy, so I started applying a corticoid cream (over the counter). I used it for a week, and it felt fine at the beginning but then it came back. It is really itchy and red, and it has expanded all over the inner side of the finger.
