Jim you had posted a link to nymark (for which I did not want to intrude on his thread) about the possibility of doing a Pulse Therapy in hopes to knock down the remaining viral load, are there any studies or research available on this subject at the present time other than the link that was posted?
So, frustrated and distressed, back I went to the dermatologist. This time, she gave me an oral antifungal called terbinafine and also gave me desonate gel, another corticosteroid. She said if it is fungal, the terbinafine should clear it up right away since it's a rather small rash. She also said that if it's contact dermatitis, the desonate gel would clear it up. So, I went on with her directions and took the terbinafine for 10 days and used the desonate for 14 days.
m going off a foggy memory) where they performed IV Methylprednisone (pulse therapy) for 3-5 weeks and over 87% showed significant long-term improvement. There was only 25 patients in that study, but, I am a 42 year old male diagnosed when I was 24 and I still have the inflammation around the eye lids and some minor proptosis. Health and nutrition is excellent, I'd like to "get back to normal". When I was in the hospital 1.
The main findings were that for reduced fungus, terbinafine was found to be significantly better than itraconazole and griseofulvin, and terbinafine was better tolerated than itraconazole.

What you have read is correct. You could discuss this finding with your doctor and get him to prescribe it for you. Since the treatment is long-term it is better to go with onr which is tolerated better by the body.
The lesion usually resolves within 2 weeks, but therapy should be continued for another week to insure the fungus is completely eradicated. 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.

FYI, terbinafine is Lamisil cream. Terbinafine is the generic name. Otherwise, you will have to see a doctor.
miconazole, tolnaftate, terbinafine, ketaconazole and clotrimazole. You can consult a pharmacist and get any cream or lotion containing these ingredients. Some of them are Lamisil, Monistat derm, Mycelex, and Nizoral. If the symptoms persist then please consult a dermatologist.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
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?
A resting heart rate in the 50's and 60's is normal. It seems your beta blocker is working, even when you are anxious. That is a good thing. Anxiety can put a strain on the body and heart. Now, you may need to tackle the "anxious feeling" part maybe with therapy. And yes, you can become obsessed with the pulse and BP. I know I have. As Jewel said, try not to focus on it. Your pulse is fine, normal. I used to check mine at least a 100 times a day.
Topical Terbinafine cream did not help doctor is treating with Ketoconazole 2% shampoo and topical Clindamycin 1%. I may be noticing a 10% increase in my normal gray follicles at two weeks treatment. I would love to send a picture.
My husband and I going through the exact same thing. I've had about 20ish spots all over my body, that seems to fade but not entirely go away (For a month and a week, going on two weeks) Although I started Oral Meds late, I'm on day 6 of Terbinafine. I've been taking it day by day. Who would have thought Ringworm would suck so bad :(. We ended up getting it from 2 rescue kittens. They seem to kind of fade, but I can still see them.
Three weeks back I was diagnosed by a dermatologist who suggested me to take up VDRL and Herpes IgG test and meanwhile apply Zimig (Terbinafine Hydrochloride 1 %) cream for 7 days. The Test Results:

He referred to a Dermatologist. Administred Terbinafine-500mg (10days) and Fexofenadine-120mg (7 days) continued applying Miconazole but had no relief. She further advised me to take Levofloaxacin 750mg for 5 days together with appky Terbinafine Cream. But still no relief. Infection resurface with spreading to more areas.
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.
