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.
Other than that other treatment options are clindamycin topical treatment, topical steroids, oral antibiotics and metronidazole cream. Treatment should be continued for several weeks. If this is unsuccessful then the other treatments mentioned above may be tried.
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.
Iwent to a doctor to treat a acne outbreak and they prescribed a wide spectrum antibiotic, azithromycin, a topical cream, clindamycin and a moisturizing cream contain allantoin and panthenol, I'm on my second weak of treatment and ive noticed red dry painful areas on chin and side chin what could be the cause of this
Hi Urmi151,
yes I have had this all my life but worse in my teens. I don't know if they have the same drugs as here in the US. You don't want to scrub the area, use gentle fragrance free cleanser and gently wash the area. Scrubbing makes it worse. Here we have Accutane, clinidamycin topical, and other drugs. I also used neutorgena face wash then at bed salicylic acid gel or topical. You can use OXY 5 or 10 cream. I'm sure others will have plenty more to help you with.
I have 3 bumps in the back of my head/bottom of my hairline they feel about the size of a dime. Kind of look like acne bumps. They are light pink/red. They do not hurt, do not itch, and have been there for almost 2 months (That I have noticed atleast). Out of nowhere, one got inflamed and hurt for a day or two, but has returned back to its normal size. the rest remain the same. What can this be? Thanks so much in advance!
I have had an itchy anus and vagina for about a month, it doesn't seem to be getting better. I can't walk, I can't sleep and it hurts so much. I am currently taking dalacin clindamycin phosphate but it has not helped at all. What is this? What can I do?
With multiple topical therapies introduced, clinical manifestations are changed and can be a challenge to recognize the underlying disorder. Therefore, in such a case, it is advised to discontinue topical therapy (under doctor’s close supervision) for at least seven days (corticosteroids for two weeks even) before skin and overall health is evaluated again. Very detailed medical history is a paramount! Basic diagnostic tools that could be utilized are skin biopsy and skin cultures.
I had a MRSA infection two months ago and was treated by a dermatologist and infectious disease doctor. The major symptoms went away like the boil I got, however I still get mild folliculitis on my face (one or two infected hairs). I've been applying topical clindamycin twice a day and cleaning my sheets and towels regularly but I still get some folliculitis. Is this normal and will it go away eventually?
I was also given some topical treatments, including a benzoyl peroxide wash and ketoconazole shampoo (used a body wash) to alternate with every day, and clindamycin topical lotion which i did not see much improvement with. I even tried nasal mupiricin ointment because my doctor thought it was staph. I had a culture done and the results came back negative for s. aureus, beta-hemolytic streptococcus, and p. aeruginosa.
The second dermatologist has told me my skin is red and in order to prevent scarring, to apply the following in addition to the Differin at night:
Morning: Clindamycin, then Hydrocortisone Cream 2.5%
Night: Differin, then Hydrocortisone Cream 2.5%
Continue with Doxycycline 100mg 2x day
I've read various reviews on using hydrocortisone cream for the face with people stating it thins out your skin and worsens acne symptoms.
the treatment for it is a low level anti biotic over several months( 3-6 ), you can talk to a pharmacist on OTC meds but your better off with a prescription.
My 2 year old got a Stye last week and my husband took him to the Dr. He was prescribed Clindamycin. This seems very strong to me and I don't really see much on the internet as this being something prescribed. Can you tell my why this might be prescribed by a doctor in a pediatric patient with his first stye?
Thanks so much.
Antibacterial wash such as hexachlorophene and topical antibiotics such as erythromycin or clindamycin may provide relief. You may also try the following- Apply a warm compress to the affected area several times a day, avoid shaving, use antibacterial soap and over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream.
However, if severe (large area or multiple areas), your doctor may prescribe some oral antibiotics like cephalexin or erythromycin.
Hope it helps.
I stopped using this and visited the same dermatologist, who confirmed that the condition was in fact perioral dermatitis. She prescribed clindamycin topical gel and 4 weeks of minocycline oral antibiotics. My face very quickly got much worse and I think it was because I immediately stopped the steroid ointment and my face, having become "addicted" to the steroid, reacted and many fluid filled bumps occurred on my chin and around my mouth.
I noticed two puncture wounds under his right ear, and we have a topical herbal medication that I applied to it- called Black Claw, it help it dry up more but he kept scratching at it and opening it up. I tried salt water compressess and he wasn't too pleased with those, but it helped clean it up a bit. I purchased a small collar but he hates it and growls the whole time.
Consulting doctor he gave me clindamycin phosphate + nicotinamide +allantoin; glintra gel once in morning along with adapalene micro spheres + clindamycin phosphate gel; derivative CMS at night.
Along with a face wash acetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol lotion; cetaphil
Which after three months he changed my face wash with salicylic acid with glycolic acid; ahaglow s.
Treatment is by topical antibiotics and steroids. Local antibiotics of erythromycin and Clindamycin group also help. Retenoid group of drugs also help. Wear loose fitting clothes. Get your diabetes status checked as high blood sugar can also cause recurrent boils. Consult a skin specialist. Also get a cxomplete STD panel done. Take care!
