Avatar m tn But my doctor prescribed me to apply mometasone furoate and fusidic acid cream twice a day for 3 days and no moisturizer with a Cafadroxil Tablet. I am bit worried about the dryness and healing part. Over all my skin type is oily. But till now what I have heard after a laser resurfacing moisturizer is must. Please help and let me knw that is use of mometasone furoate and fusidic acid cream is good fpr post laser resurfacing treatment without moisturizer??????
Avatar f tn none of those are herpes treatments. sounds like they were thinking more bacterial infection than herpes.
Avatar m tn Avoid friction and try something else like Betadine soap ( povidone iodine ) for washing first. Rinse, then dry well and use Fusidic Acid ointment ( not cream ) for a 8 days. ( washing and ointment application 2-3 times a day ).
Avatar m tn After shaving apply some hydrocortisone cream ( not ointment!!! ) combined with fusidic acid or some other antibiotic ( just once or twice if needed after shaving, hydrocortisone is not meant to be overused so take care ) . They sell them over the counter in Wallmart. Avoid tight clothing as it can aggravate the itching. You dont need to worry about having something.
Avatar n tn Please see my post from yesterday. Like you, I have a small red sore on my lower inside eyelid. My family doctor prescribed 'Fucithalmic or Fusidic Acid' (apply topically to the affected area) . It's only been 2 days, the sore is pretty well gone although I am supposed to use it for 7 days. Best of luck!
Avatar f tn I am taking some fusidic acid cream but still no difference. And then Buscopan for when I feel bloated but still no difference. Any ideas?

Avatar f tn He used the dermascope to diagnose it and 1-2 more equipments I guess.He prescribed me fusidic acid for the same and said that it would take care of it.He said just forget about it as it can happen anywhere on the body.since it occurred on my genitals I was worried. I thought all warts were due to HPV. When on the net I checked what is fusidic acid used for it came it is used for a bacterial infection and not viral.
Avatar m tn Please Help me. i had red, itchy, swell penis forehead last year & i gone to doctor and he tested me for HIV 1&2 antibodies, VDRL, HERPES simplex virus 1&2 IGG-IGM & TSH and all test came normal (negative). Then my doc told me that it is candidal balanoposthitis & he gave me fusidic acid cream with terbinafine cream and some tablets for infection & infection cured 70% but itching never gone.
Avatar f tn Dear ma'am, thank you for your reply. Let me describe what I have acquired in detail. It is is a circular black flat substance stuck firmly on the penile shaft. I went to dermatologist in India. He said it was was a wart but not due to any infection. So does that mean that there can be non hpv wart. He said it can happen anywhere in the genital on the hand, back leg. He said that since I acquired it on the genital area I was worried and that it was natural.
Avatar f tn It has now gone back to being pinky/purple like a bruise. I used Fusidin (hydrocortisone/Fusidic acid) cream for 5days but it did not do anything. Any advice? I have not had any recent trauma to my face, it's not a bite, impetigo or contact dermatitis.
Avatar f tn FNAB is aspiration of the material of the lump which is done by a fine gauge needle (22 or 25 gauge) and a syringe. 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 m tn thanks for all the reply. I went to doctor about a month ago and he prescribed me Fusidic Acid/ Hydrocortisone acetate. I ve been using it but i dont see much improvement. One question does it look like STD or??
Avatar m tn I have never had anything like this, I was going to apply some fusidic acid/betamethasone but instead put some natural oils (tea tree oil) I have attached a picture, Appreciate your response Thank you !
Avatar n tn He initially described it as pearly penile papules or genital warts. So advised a topical anitbiotic(Fusidic Acid Cream - Fucidin by Ranbaxy) and VDRL(came out negative). After 2 weeks of no relief, the doc suggested electrocautery. As per my research online, electrocautery is required for genital warts, and genital warts cause itching, but I dont feel any type of itching. Want to have secondary opinion. Should I go for electrocautery, or do I have other alternatives also?
Avatar n tn I went to a dermatologist and he said that’s just a folliculitis and I take oral and local antibiotics for around 15 days such as clindamycin and doxycyclin with local Fusidic acid , and still no improvement and new pimples appears . there is no lesions occurs in my penis or on around the anal .
Avatar n tn "I got a handjob at the massage parlor and noticed a red spot on the penis head as in the photo mark (A). What is this STD Herpes i dont know just afraid. As in the photo mark (B) this spot has been there for like 6 months no pain no itching nothing at all. I consulted a dermatologist, was give anti fungal ointment "Mometasone Furoate, Fusidic Acid and Clotrimazole Cream". applied for 4 weeks but no change. Should i continue ?
Avatar m tn I have used a 2% salicylic acid as a face wash each morning for a week, and the cluster is still there.. Its starting to bother me because its starting to be visible because the cluster seems so large, in fact even the 2 pimples left a mark after they were gone..
Avatar m tn I have been to two different dermatologist who both were quite sure they were bites from some insect, in particular they both leaned towards a wood parasite, but since a month or two (being treated first with fusidic acid+betameson for three weeks then with gentamicin+betameson for a week and a half, and then with Zirtec for a week) they have not disapperead, and have not grown in number, except for maybe a bump or two over the whole two months; T hey come and go but are always in the same spo
Avatar f tn In the mean time apply some topical antibiotic cream if you have one or you can get one over the counter.
Avatar m tn It seems that the fusidic acid based drops are finally working!
2019633 tn?1373314768 hello, over 2 years ago i fell down a manhole and grated the skin off my shin, it has been a very slow process of healing and has left me with a requirement to moisturise with emmolients, and using fusidic acid/ betamethasone cream, i've also used bio oil and palmers cocoa butter to treat the skin and improve its appearance.
Avatar f tn The surgeon prescribed me Augmentin 625mg twice a day for 5 days. And lidocaine+fucidin cream (fusidic acid) to apply on the rectum and the ulcer. I have been doing that but the ulcer doesn't seem to heal. Also, Augmentin has given me diarrhea in the past so I was not very satisfied with his prescription. About 5-6 days after the ulcer developed, I got a few itchy bumps on my tailbone area/just at the top end of the crack. They are flesh colored and very itchy.
