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.
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.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing.Kind regards.
After I went to the doctor he gave me cansten, it didnt help and he gave me lamisil, it didnt help neither and he gave me brentacort, without luck. The iching and redness spreaded to the groin, and than around anus, and to the hands and than I started to have a dry and rough feeling in my mouth and gums.
My son has a red ring shaped patch on his face and the doctor prescribed lamisil. He said it's a ringworm. I started applying the product 2 days ago. I have some questions and I hope that you can kindly assist me.
Is it safe for his age? Can he still go to swim while treating it? What about school, shall I cover it with a bandage?
Thank you so much in advance for your help. This site is of great help. Thanks.
face, arms, back. My dermatologist gave me Lamisil cream with oral terbinafine during 2 weeks. My rash has almost disappeared. It came back 1 month after taking terbinafine. I have done a mycological examination 1 month after taking terbinafine but it was negative. Also, oral griseofulvin during 3 weeks didn't work. My rash was spreading all over my body (70%). The physicians sayed it was eczema. The gave me diprosone and oral cortisone.
I was wondering if anyone out there really has had a bad health experience with the combination of having Hep B for many years, although my Hep B has been dormant for the past 14 years and has not started to do anything to my liver as of today, and taking presciption strength Lamisil for toe nail fungus. My Dr. put me on the Lamisil for 12 weeks and says that after 6 weeks we will check my blood and liver to see if there is any change in my Hep B.
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?
Hello,
About 6wks ago I had sex with someone I barely know. 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.
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?
have the corners removed if the ingrown is still problematic
2) apply mentax cream twice daily to the yeast
3) file the nail aggressively to remove most of the fungal nail. then, apply Lamisil cream on the nails twice daily. always file the nail prior to application to allow the medication to penetrate. once the nails look improved, switch over to tea tree oil.
I was wondering what would be the best fungal medication for him to take terbinafine or fluconazole I read on the internet that sporanox is not recommended. What do you think I should tell the doctor to prescribe for a two and a half year old that would be safe.

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...
I'm a 25 year old male, and I believe that in December I have caught some kind of a yeast (or bacterial?) infection after repeatedly having protected sex with a 21 year old female (we were seeing each other regularly during December) — it first started affecting my balls and then in mid-January the irritation seemed to have moved more to the penis. I've never had unprotected sex.
Around the same time, I would masturbate and noticed a mild burning sensation, like a friction burn. Initially I thought it was from the lubrication I was using. So I used Lamisil for about a week and the itch has subsided for the most part. But I noticed two sore-like spots on my penis, one on the head and a smaller one on the shaft. No fluid, not raised.
I was told by my doctor that it was tinea but i havent been responding so well to the lamisil. it itches something bad then burns. It seems to be popping up on different areas on my legs and hands.
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?
I remember that I was 60 days into Lamisil when the rash first appeared. I ask Doc if Lamisil could have caused the rash and he said "possibly". I am now done with my Lamisil script for a month but the rash is getting worse. It's tiny red spots that are all over my back, buttocks, legs, arms. The rash originally appeared on the base of my neck and was larger red dots. They did not itch or peel. For a month, that's all it was.
