Avatar m tn I have had ringworm on me for over a month and nothing I have tried has worked. I wen't to the doctor and he proscribed a oral anti-fungal... but the issue remains. I am starting to get concerned cause It spread to a few other areas and doesn't seem to wan't to leave. I can provide more info but I just was wondering if someone had an idea what is wrong.
Avatar n tn I have seen my doctor about the rash, he said that its looks like a ringworm which is a fungal infection. So I have been going in and out of the doctor trying different medicines each month. The medicines I have used are, Clotrimazole, Ketocnazole, Terbinafine and oral Terbinafine. The medicine didn’t work so I was sent to the hospital to the dermatology department, they took a scrape test to see if it is a fungal infection.
1652119 tn?1301725969 Dear Doctor Thanks for the time and effort you gave ! ! It's Tinea Barbae for sure ; as I've been taking Terbinafine 250 mg po for past 2 wks and the symptoms have dropped by at least 50 % ! ! Topical antifungals have had no effect.
Avatar n tn You say to wash in hot water with fungicidal soap, but I have hunted and hunted locally and online and can find nothing that is a fungicidal soap. Where would I find something like this. Is there something else it might be called?
Avatar f tn It is called tinea cruris and tinea capitis. When ringworm infects the area between the toes, it is called tinea capitis. When it affects the pubic region it is called tinea cruris. When it affects the scalp, it is called tinea capitis. It is all the same. Only, the ringworm that infects the scalp lives inside the hair shafts and can't be treated topically. For the feet and pubic region, the best product is topical Lamisil.
Avatar n tn Is this going to take over my body and infect my heart, lungs, or brain? Please help -- I fear the ringworm may eat me alive!
Avatar m tn t have insurance) and she had supposedly diagnosed the problem as ringworm by looking at it, I finished my 2 weeks of an oral Terbinafine prescription, and during the last 2 days of the Terbinafine I started to get an itchy back, 2 sections of my lower back (on the right and left hand side) started to itch, I fought it and never scratched it and woke up today for the rash to be about 5x the size they were the previous evening.

1348119 tn?1276619265 My son had ringworm and it took weeks for the anti fungal cream to work. I even took him to the doctor to look at it and he said that it can take 4 to 6 weeks to go away. I found the best antifungal cream for treating ringworm is Lamisil (Terbinafine). You have to apply it three times daily.
Avatar n tn I also see tiny pimples sprout up around the area. I am currently using OTC terbinafine, but the itchy and crawly feelings persist. Neosporin stops the itch immediately but some itching returns after a few hours. I have had ringworm in the past and it never lasted this long or gave me this much trouble. I'm suspecting that what I have may be bacterial rather than fungal, but I don't know how to explain those initial round lesions I had. I'm very confused and still very itchy.
Avatar n tn The most commonly used antifungal creams are Clotrimazole, Ketoconazole, Miconazole, Terbinafine and Tolnaftate. If there are several ringworm lesions or if the lesions are extensive, oral antifungal medications can be used. Because fungi prefer warm, moist environments, preventing ringworm involves keeping skin dry with the usage of talcum powder. ref:http://en.wikipedia.
Avatar f tn Heck yes it can be ringworm. Ringworm can cause folliculitis and present like this, especially early stages of it, or certain strains. Try applying an OTC anti-fungal ointment on the boils (clotrimazole `% twice daily or terbinafine once daily). If it's ringworm, you will see marked improvement after 1-2 days. You should keep applying the cream for the full treatment period though to make sure all the spores are gone. Run all clothes and bedlinens through a HOT dryer.

Avatar n tn I got a small patch of "ringworm" or so I assumned and still believe so way back in January of this year 2009. Well I took a month to finally get money for med's for it I bought in the store. Well they seemed to be working and I got rid of the thing but not in 4 weeks it took almost 3 months, in the mean time I had grown a second patch that was near my toe all on my foot. The first was small about size of a quarter the new one started smaller.

Avatar n tn Right after, my right thumb started to shed skin, and then became very red, blistered, and itchy. My doctor prescribed a variety of steroid creams, all of which did not clear anything up. At one point she prescribed an antibiotic (while still using a steroid cream) and it has since somewhat cleared, although not completely. Currently: In Jan 2009 I developped a rash under my chin. Steroid creams did not work, neither did an immunosupressant cream.
Avatar n tn I have a case of ringworm (I think) around my anus and on my buttcheeks. 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.
569705 tn?1217017492 Most treatments are either systemic antifungal medications such as terbinafine and itraconazole, or topical such as nail paints containing ciclopirox or amorolfine. ref:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onychomycosis Those with eczema or other skin problems get ringworm [or other Onychomycosis related conditions] more easily because the protective barrier of the skin's outer layer is less intact.
