I have developed a rash that is between my breasts and spreading down my stomach that favors athletes foot. Is this possible? My fiance has the same thing, only his is all over. He uses Lamisil spray on his and it seems to stop the itching but not the spreading. What should we do? He has also had a kidney-pancreas transplant over 6 years ago and is on numerous medications. Could his meds be causing this rash? I would just like to get a hold of it before it goes crazy.
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?
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?
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.
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?
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. I can understand taking 2 weeks before seeing positive results but should the fungus be spreading during the first 11 days while on the medication?

Detailed Back Story: Mid October 2016 I noticed a small, circular, white, and dry patch on my back near my L shoulder blade. It looked like a small patch of "chicken skin" I put cetaphil lotion on it. 24 hours later it was a red ring. I went out and bought OTC ringworm cream.
So, I made a trip to CVS and bought some Lamisil. Well, it was awesome. I put on the cream and the itching went away, and flakyness went away too, but not the redness. Lamisil says only to use it for one week. But once I stopped, all the symptoms came back.
So, I decided to disobey the directions and began to use it twice a day -- now for almost 3 months. Here is what is happening now. There is no more itching, nor more flaking (unless I stop for a day...
She performed oral (no condom), then intercourse with condom. About a week later I noticed a red itchy patch on my scrotum. I also have pimple like bumps, which have always been there, but now some are itchy on penis and scrotum. I am also itchy on undercarriage and inner thigh. I used Canesten for jock itch for 2 wks with no luck. I'm now on Lamisil but starting to worry. The girl said she was checked for STDs recently and all negative.
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 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?
Hello,
Treatment of fungal infections involves topical and oral antifungal medicines. Most cases of fungal infections respond to over-the-counter products, which contain any of several basic ingredients: miconazole, tolnaftate, terbinafine,ketaconazole and clotrimazole.You can consult a pharmacist and get any cream or lotion containing these ingredients. Some of them are Lamisil, Monistat derm, Mycelex, and Nizoral. Also wear cotton clothes and try to keep the area as dry as possible.
As I understand Lamisil is an antifungal cream. If you do not have a fungal problem, the Lamisil is not going to be doing anything.
Natural yogurt for bruising and inflammation will help.
It is a good idea for you to be examined by your doctor so that you can get the correct diagnosis.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
I tried lamisil cream for 4 weeks with only a slight improvement and then saw my GP. He prescribed ciclopirox which I used for 5 weeks with maybe 25-50% improvement, but it would occasionally flare and come back just as strong. Went back to the GP and he suggested maybe the fungus was almost gone and that it was more inflammation than anything. To be sure, he prescribed oral ketoconazole for 2 weeks and prescription hydrocortisone.
It seems that I went to a barber and dirty clippers have caused me to devolp a fungus, I have tried all types of shampoos, and lamisil. It seems now to be spreading through out my head. What can I do to get rid of this. I have never had anything like this before and am at my wits end!
I went to my doctor and she prescribed lamisil pills and also gave me lamisil cream but it does not seem to work very well.
I am not overweight and try to keep the area dry. I have used various creams and powders. Lamisil knocks it down but it never completly goes away. If I stop the daily Lamisil it flars right back. What are your thoughts on what else I can do.
