4 years ago a rash has appeared on my right back like eczema or dermatophytosis with rings. My dermatologist thinked it was eczema so I have taken diprosone cream. It didn't work and the rash has spread : 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.

Hello,
From the symptoms chances are less likely that it is eczema because rash of eczema does not spread. Fungal rash have a property of spreading to other parts of body. However to confirm the diagnosis, it is advisable to get a KOH examination of the skin scrapings done.
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've had my first outbreak of Eczema at 32 years old (Male) and it started out as athlete's foot and now is diagnosed by my doctor as Eczema. It was on my toes for four months and last week it started on my ankle, noe I'm getting little bumps on my hands. I've been on burrow's solution, oral terbinafine tablets, anti-histamines and a foot cream for the eczema. It's very slowly getting better but winter is coming and I soon won't be able to open shoes for the cold.
While they are going down with OTC creams and Natural Remedies (Apple Cider Vinegar + Tea tree oil) I ended up going on Terbinafine because it seems like these things are at a standstill.
So I have a few questions:
***Skin that isn't even affected by ringworm is VERY ITCHY. Is this normal?
***I've never had a more serious case of ringworm before. Is it ok to be putting lotion on my skin now?
***Skin that wasn't affected by any lesions is peeling off. Again is this normal?
Hi doctor,
Two weeks ago, I was diagnosed with ringworms near my groin area and on my penis. I've been taking Terbinafine tablets and applying terbinafine cream, and it's been slowly improving.
But I think the rash has spread to my fingers. The area between my fingers and near my nails is very dry and crusty, sometimes giving off a transparent liquid. There are small bumps on my fingers as well, and there's a constant urge to itch. Its been there for the past 3 days.
There are various types and brands. For example; terbinafine, clotrimazole, econazole, ketoconazole, miconazole, and sulconazole.
Drying is perhaps the most important point in prevention of the infection.

Could this be a fungus, or maybe eczema, or maybe they are unrelated? The specks in my hands are very scratchy.
I have a bearable scrotal itch on my left side, there's no flaking skin, bleeding, puss, bruising, soreness, or any noticeable bumps. The skin just feels somewhat leathery and rough.
Is that jock itch/fungal? It hasn't spread elsewhere, just only the left side of the scrotum. I think i've had it just under a month. It's bearable but I am concerned. I have a serious history of eczema but it has been a long while and wasn't aware that it affects "down there".
If it is dry and flaky and itchy then nummular eczema is an important possibility. The damp skin is an ideal site for fungi to multiply. So you should wear cotton socks and change them twice a day and do not share other people’s towels. Application of local antifungal cream(terbinafine, clotrimazole, econazole, ketoconazole, miconazole) and oral antifungal drugs are the mainstay of treatment.
You can consult a pharmacist and get any cream or lotion containing these ingredients.

Hi,
Ringworm, an infection of the outer layer of the scalp and in the hair. It usually causes a rash made up of circular patches with raised, red edges that resemble worms. The rash spreads from these edges, often leaving the center clear, giving it a ring shape.

In severe cases oral antifungals are needed.
This started happening after one sexual encounter I had. I have these ecounters very rarely, and it started right after one, so it is probably due to that. On my testicles the skin gets wrinkly, it feels almost like there is some kind of a layer on top, almost like a plastic film, also the skin will peel. The skin looks different and can shine or reflect light, see picure 026 for example. It went away roughly in a week or so.

The other possibility is of eczema skin. To confirm the diagnosis I suggest you to get an evaluation done from a dermatologist.

Also, I forgot to mention that when I look at it, it seems almost glossy and shiny. I'm really starting to worry as there are many different "diagnoses" on the internet, from eczema to some chronic diseases.
