I have just been diagnosed, and my POD is at a medium level intensity because I abruptly quit my topical steroid cream (which im positive is the cause of all this).
I have been prescribed 21 days of doxycycline at 100mg and metronidazole 0.75%. I'm wondering if this will be enough to clear my POD? I know it usually takes quite a while to clear and this seems like not enough?
My doctor told me to take my oral anti-biotics for a couple of weeks first than start the topical anti-biotics.
However, three weeks ago my skin started to redden again, and i went to see the doctor. I got given just some metronidazole cream and told to apply this twice a day. A few days later though and my face was more red, dry, very hot and my eyelids had began to swell up. If i apply a little hydrocortisone the swelling and redness goes down for a couple of days then re-occurs. I don't seem to have much in the way of papules and pustules, but the skin does weep a little. It is very distressing.
my dermatologist recommended to use - metronidazole topical 0.75% & Desonide 0.05%.. going try both for week... hope this will not mess up instead of curing ...
In addition,pls don’t use any cosmetics on the penis,instead use some topical antimicrobials like Bacitracin or Lotrimin.Also corticosteroids and topical immunosuppressants can be used but they are available under prescription. Also retract the foreskin daily and soak in warm water to clean penis and foreskin.In case the symptoms persist then pls consult a urologist/dermatologist for evaluation and antimicrobials and steroids prescription.
I hope it helps.
It is inflammation of the foreskin and glans in uncircumcised males. Topical antibiotics (metronidazole cream) and antifungals (clotrimazole cream) or low-potency steroid creams is the main mode of treatment. Proper hygiene with frequent washing and drying of the prepuce is also essential.Severe cases may require circumcision.
I hope it helps.Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
Other than that other treatment options are clindamycin topical treatment, topical steroids, oral antibiotics and metronidazole cream. Treatment should be continued for several weeks. If this is unsuccessful then the other treatments mentioned above may be tried.
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.
It has now been 13 days on the Doxycycline (of a 30 day cycle total ) and 4 days applying the Metronidazole 0.75% gel only at night, once a day. Thankfully, there has been much improvement since then. So far, no more flareups, hardly any itching only when my skin gets too dry, and during the day when I don't use the Metrogel, my skin is not as red anymore (more pink or normal in color) or bumpy. I just have one more question though.
It has been present for a couple of months now. I have tried everything to get rid of them--zit cream, tea tree oil, Metronidazole cream, homeopathic rosacea gel, eczema cream, Desitin, and calamine lotion. Nothing seems to help. I did not change my makeup, laundry detergent, or skin care products before it began. I have fair, sensitive skin as well. Can anyone offer insight into what it may be?

How soon after using metronidazole vaginal gel (0.75%) for bacterial vaginosis can you consume alcoholic beverages? On the box it says do not drink alcoholic beverages when taking this medicine. I only used it twice, and experienced bad side effects so I do not plan on using it anymore. Today (April 22), was the last time I used it. Will I be able to drink alcohol on Saturday, April 25? Thank you.
Oral antibiotics can really get rid of the symptoms. Also there are topical meds (metronidazole cream and Klaron, a thin lotion) which help somewhat I guess but are not as effective.
I saw the dermatologist today and he prescribed me a 1-month dosage of Minocycline HCl 100 mg and a topical cream....Fucidin H Cream. Multiple trusted websites state that Fucidin H Cream should NOT be used on “Inflammatory rash around the mouth (perioral dermatitis)” and now I am very disappointed and discouraged that this will be a chronic problem I will not be able to get rid of, with doctors who seem to be unaware of cautions on the drugs they prescribe.
My OB/GYN did a swab in May that confirmed the BV. I have recently begun Metronidazole Gel 0.75%, qd x 5. I have been reading a lot of forums, and from what it looks like, none of these treatments are very effective. I am starting to really worry that this is going to plague me for the rest of my life. I have asked these questions, but no one can seem to give me a straight answer. I have never had an STD before, although I had a shaky past, and have had a lot of sexual partners in my life.
I started noticing the skin around my mouth became unusually dry and became flaky and red 3 months ago. I went to see a doctor 2 months ago and he diagnosed me of having "contact dermititus" and prescribed me "desonide cream (0.05%) and clotrimazole". I applied the cream for about 2 weeks and it looked fine. However, after I stopped the cream for a couple of days, the skin rash came back. He told me to to keep applying the cream for 2 or 3 more weeks.
go to Gyn most likely is a bacteria vaginal infection they will probably give u Metronidazole Vaginal Gel,0.75% it get right back the way it supposed to smell and u will be felling very confident.
My mom happened to have a perscription of my sisters left over known as Metronidazole Cream. I know that it was not my perscription so I should have consulted a doctor however, I thought I would give it a try anyways. To my surprise, it helped. The cream is an anti-acne rosacea cream and it minimized the bumps and burning sensation. There is still some discoloration but I'm pretty sure within the next week or so it will clear up.
I really do appreciate your response!
Hello,
Instead of Fucidin which is a topical antibiotic, you can use other topical antibiotics like Mupirocin or Neosporin. Folliculitis starts when hair follicles are damaged by friction from clothing or blockage of the follicle. In most cases of folliculitis, the damaged follicles are then infected with the bacteria Staphylococcus (staph).
Please keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics.
s like a hive and sometimes to relieve it I have to put cream on! I have recently been tested for every type of infection, HPV and all came back negative!! Have a lot if discharge everyday that's yellow and makes my jeans smell like urine so I have to wash them after every use
Anyone shed some light on this?
Hi there, I have been using a topical steroid (Elocon) on my face for the last 2 years now. I have tried to stop using this recently and have experienced a terrible red itchy, flakey rash on my face. I have been reading info on the internet and now realise I've probably got steroid induced Rosacea. I am currently taking erythromycin antibiotic tablets to help with the inflammation. Can anyone please suggest anything else that may help me?
Steroid rosacea is possible. I suggest stopping all steroids, by cream or by mouth. Topical antibiotics like metronidazole may help. If you weren't on Accutane, oral doxycycline might be useful, but you can't take that while taking Accutane (which may itself help if you finish off the course and don't use steroids any more.) This rash may take some time to heal, but it should in the end go away completely. Milk and food have nothing to do with it that I can think of.
Best.
Dr.
So I have a cut on my head and am applying an antibiotic cream once a day to help speed up healing. This can't dry out my hair or anything, can it? I may just be overthinking because I have a tendency to do that.
I was given Rozex cream (metronidazole) as i have an itchy penis (head). When i asked what was the diagnosis they said a fungal infection.
Why have i been given this cream when metronidazole doesn't cure fungal infections?
Is there any indication for using this cream on the penis at all?
I thought most infections or protozoa were treated with oral metronidazole?
Your physician may choose to treat the bumps with other topical medications, such as metronidazole, erythromycin, benzoyl peroxide, tacrolimus, clindamycin, or pimecrolimus.
In more severe cases, oral antibiotics (such as tetracycline, doxycycline, minocycline, or erythromycin) may be required. Perioral dermatitis is a difficult condition to treat effectively. It often requires several months of treatment.
t respond to over-the-counter medicine, you may need a prescription-strength topical or oral medication. These include topical antifungals like econazole (Spectazole) or oxiconazole (Oxistat) and oral antifungals like Itraconazole (Sporanox),Fluconazole (Diflucan) or Terbinafine (Lamisil)
Triamcolone acetonide is a more potent type of triamcinolone, being about 8 times as effective as prednisone.It should not be used to treat fungal infections without consulting a dermatologist.
I have been prescribed 100mg Doxycyline and Metronidazole 0.75% gel for a vaginal infection. I was told not a STD, but a infection. What kind of infection. The only symptom was white discharge. No burning, swelling, odor that I noticed, etc.
