mupirocin for ringworm

But like I said before I dont have insurance so she prescribed diflucan, mupirocin ointment( for bacteria) and another that starts with a Kertaphmeme(for fungal infection). Im hoping one of these things will work because im getting pretty nervous here. I'll keep you posted if i have any progress.

This skin rash can be due to contact dermatitis, nummular dermatitis or ringworm (fungal infection). Nummular dermatitis is a sort of eczema and allergic reaction is an important cause. Ask your daughter to apply some calamine lotion on the rash. Also she should wear cotton clothes and keep the skin sweat free. If the symptoms persist then please get it examined from a dermatologist.

I have small red bumps on my stomach, chest and back. They slightly resemble chicken pox, but no scabbing, minimal redness and slightly raised. No itching. I have been using Cortizone cream per a pharmacist's recommendation. They eliminated ringworm as a possibility. I think I have prevented it from spreading, but it's not going away. What could be the cause and treatment? No new soaps, lotions, perfumes, etc. Boyfriend and dogs do not have anything.

Is there an over-th-counter medication for ringworm ? I can't get to my dermitologist before New Years and i would like to at least try to get rid on this ringworm.

I was promiscuous a week prior, I had a bad sore through about a week after, I noticed white streaks on my tonsils. For about 24 hours I felt run down, fatigued, loss of appetite. But I have recovered over the last week with antibiotic treatment. During that time I noticed a red bump on my chin and on my cheek, that I accidentally cut while shaving. It got infected. I cut myself again while shaving on a flat skin, yet I noticed another bump that formed.

Hello, everyone! A year ago I began to get rashes on my legs. I figured it was normal, as I get eczema, and promptly ignored it. I went to a dermatologist after several months, and she diagnosed it as nummular eczema. It's true it looked very similar, but the lotions she suggested didn't help. I went to another dermatologist as they started to show up in other places. She took a skin test, and it came back positive for ringworm.

Both ringworm and yeast infection are fungus. in fact one of the very best treatments for ringworm is monostat mixed with hibiclense I am not a medical pro, but I did rescue 3 infested kittens 4 years ago and my hairless dogs got ringworm. from that i learned the ringworm spores can live many months. I bought a woods lamp, only to discover all ringworms do not florese. dry skin does florese. grr a waste of good money.

I know that ring worm stays on surfaces and stuff for a while and that it is very contagious. I use nystatin or mupirocin ointment for them (both have been prescribed for the baby's diaper rashes) It's worth a try at least...good luck!!

Hey back here for the last time , too naive. Back in March I had went down on a woman unprotected, for a long time . No intercourse was involved, though I did finger her a bit. Recently Ive noticed on my scalp that I have two small lesions that I thought to be ringworm or some type of fungi. It looks pretty obvious though I havent had it sampled. If it is ringworm hypothetically, and I know it is a symptom of HIV infection, would I have been at risk from the oral sex I administered to the woman.

Treatment usually takes 2 to 4 weeks to clear it up and prevent it from returning. Let us know what your doctor says.

For possibly 6-8 weeks I have had several very small bumps on my cheek like pimples that had not truly surfaced yet. The odd thing about it was that the pimples were in a circular form. I didn't think much of it. It seemed like 1 or 2 of them would come out, be red for a few days like any other pimple and eventually fade away, but for 6-8 weeks I have still had this going on. Over the weekend my aunt who hadn't seen me since, thought perhaps I had ringworm. What do you think?

When i put Lotrimin on it, it stops growing and does eventually dry up but even though i used it for a while even after the ringworm cleared, i found another ringworm 5 months later (today). I'm really frustrated. My sister told me to use Triamcinolone acetonide for this new ringworm and the ointment is anti bacterial and not anti fungal. I'm a little skeptical to use it (i have seen pictures of numular eczema though and what i have does look like it once it spreads a little more).

Apply warm compresses on the lymph nodes and complete the treatment for ringworm as prescribed by your doctor. Once ringworm is treated, lymph nodes will come back to their normal size. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how your daughter is doing.

is there a chance of me being positive for hiv.i have literally dying for the past 8 months. please advice me.

Alright, this is an ugly sad situation I am in. I slept with a prostitute ( protected ) and got a fungal infection on my back a week or two later ( ringworm ) ... It was protected so no HIV risk here.. . I also tested negative conclusively for this....

Ringworm can be contagious. I strongly you suggest you make an appt for your nephew to see his doctor for an exam.

ok so i have started gettin spots that look like ringworm it started on my elbow it was a patch that looked like ringworm but it took a while to go away even tho i was using the cream but now like weeks later im gettin little ringworm spots all over i have one on my cheek one above the eye 1 on each forearm one on my thigh and a few on my back they look just like ringworm to me they are small area's not noticeable much the ones on my body arms are red the ones on my face are just skin color

d call my obgyn and tell him/her, mine prescribed me medicine for it.

By the next day the ringworm will be gone. My children got ringworm in school and a Fillipino lady cured them this way. In case it isn't ringworm that you have, you might want to try this on just one spot.

Or go to a vets office and ask for ringworm shampoo and use that when you shower. It works great.

I was put on the oral anti fungal drug Terbinifine. I took it once a day for 2 weeks for a severe case of ringworm. The ringworm started clearing up fast, but I developed many side effects. They included: an itchy red rash, which my dermatologist said was an allergic reaction to the drug, loss of appetite, swollen glands, occasional right upper quadrant pain, which has subsided. I had shortness of breath, and I have developed a persistant productive cough.

Ringworm is a fungal infection, so I would imagine if you have it in one area, you could get it in another. For ringworm on the scalp, you do need to see a doctor for medication to treat it. I'd say it's worth a trip to the doctor to verify what is going on and get a treatment plan together.

My son has redmarks that look like ringworm but we put ringworm meds on the areas hasnt gone away, the middle of the circle is whie and stays white it also has little bumps inside the circle, any idea what this could be

If the investigations for fungal infections(ringworm) have come negative, I suggest you to take a second opinion from another dermatologist and get nummular dermatitis also ruled out. If it is ringworm then you may be needing oral antifungals as well. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
