Avatar f tn I'm 19 years old. I've had 3 ringworm outbreaks in less than a year, but I'm still not sure if it's ringworm. It always starts out with 1, 2, or 3 small red bumps. All the bumps have a white head and can be ruptured. If i scratch it or rupture the bumps by applying cream, it spreads. It is itchy, but only sometimes. But it never forms a circle. The bumps itself is in a circular form, but it is just a cluster of small raised bumps, not a ring with a clear center.

Avatar n tn We are currently treating it as eczema and he is on elidel and triamcinolone cream, we have tried tanning beds and bleach baths. No relieve, this has been going since last Nov. The dermatologist wants to put him on methotraxate (sp?) (chemo drug). I am nervous, any advice???? He also has a history of lymes disease a few years ago..any possible connection?????
Avatar n tn Hi, I'm a m/23year. I was in high risk because of 8-9 (with condoms)sexual exposures and some of them were homosexual. Indeed, that first one of them was 22 months ago and the last one was 14 months ago.After that, i was freaked out, then 3 months after the last exposure i got tested for STD's & HIV which were all of them Negative. After that, i got tested again for just SDT's which became Negative.
Avatar m tn He has been treated for everything from ringworm to scabies. Many trips to doctors and have tried every cream, ointment and everything from oatmeal to clear finger nail polish. We are at our wits end. Please advise me on what to do. Thanks. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/240582'>rash on entire body</a>.
Avatar f tn 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 dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar m tn Im 25 yrs old and I've noticed small dry flaky ringworm looking bumps on my penis and testicles and also on my body such as chest and arms as well, but more so on my testicles. They don't itch or bother me but i'm just concerned, and I would say I'd noticed them about maybe a week ago. Pls Help!
Avatar f tn About a month ago, I ended up catching ringworm from 2 new kittens my husband and I took in during Christmas. Each of us have about 20 spots each. My Husband got all of his at once, I "Broke out" for 3 weeks. 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.
Avatar m tn The rash spread to the back of my legs, underneath my arms/ armpits, pretty much everywhere! I went to see a nurse practitioner at CVS and she told me it was ringworm and prescribed some cream that was over $100 so I used over the counter products. After 2 weeks of minimal results I went to see another doctor and he thought it was a fungus as well and said it was severe and referred me to a dermatologist and come to find out it was hives!
Avatar m tn Unfortunately it would recur within about a month. Visited derm dr. recently and he diagnosed as herpes. I have not used the cream and have had a lot of pain and outbreak in the same 2 sites. Slow to heal and feels like I have been kicked in the crotch, sore nerve pain. I understand from what I have read that Triamcinolone cream is not to be used on genital herpes. However if the experience I have had without the cream is terrible.
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.
656503 tn?1256832023 s not real possible even if the kitten showed symptoms of ringworm, unless your boyfriend was in very close contact, like sleeping with it every night and cuddling a lot. Even then it would most likely show up on his body near where the kitten was, it wouldn't show up on his feet! However, if the kitten shows no sign (scratching, scabs, missing fur), then it doesn't have ringworm and there is not chance of passing it on.
Avatar f tn One of the consumers I was working with had ringworm, I was very careful, and used gloves when working closely with him. About a week later, I saw one little circular patch on my right shin, and started to get worried that I was going to get the ringworm. I went right to my dr. She checked it out and said that it was not ringworm.... My question is,, has anyone had different types of rashes or odd shaped patches on their skin that looks circular without the bulls eye type look?
Avatar m tn ) But how serious is an allergic reaction to triamcinolone? Or is it the combination of lidocaine and triamcinolone that caused the mess?
Avatar m tn What is the difference between the two, and which one is better? Should I seek another doctor or can I go to a clinic and get my shots there since I have my past medical records with me?
Avatar m tn Hello, You may be suffering from Tinea Capitis or Ringworm (fungal infection) of the scalp. Ringworm is a fungal skin infection that occurs on the face, body or scalp. The symptoms of Ringworm or Tinea Capitis include a dry itchy scalp, scaling, crusting, inflamed nodules, hair loss and tender enlarged lymph nodes on the neck. Because of the scratching that is involved with the condition it can become secondarily infected with a bacterial infection.
Avatar f tn I think I have ringworm on my hands, (I have ringworm on my stomach and thighs), how do I treat it and keep it from spreading to others? I've been putting an ointment to try to treat it and then placing gloves on my hands so I don't infect everything I touch, but it makes my hands sweat which I think is making it worse :( Any help, tips and/or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm losing my mind with this issue!!
Avatar n tn Disinfect the trouble spots. Ringworm fungi love to collect in tubs, on bathroom floors and in hampers and dresser drawers. Dr. Whitmore recommends that you destroy these breeding grounds by regularly cleaning them with chlorine bleach. Hope that helps! Good Luck!
Avatar m tn There were some fungal issues in my skin, different areas which with usage of some creams like Betamethasone or Triamcinolone they usually disappear and maybe after a time again they appear or happen in other locations, maybe cause of the water, showering a lot or … After a time I found an itchy area bellow the scrotum, when I use a cream the issue seems to be fixed for maybe weeks, in some weeks ago another similar area appeared below the head and also on top of the head.
Avatar f tn It's probably ringworm (the scabs are an indicator or ringworm, not mange. But they are often cross diagnosed). I would suggest starting by picking up an over the counter athlete's foot cream like lotrimin (use the cream, work's best with fur). Surprise surprise, it's the same medication for cats or humans. This likely means your cat didn't do the damage. But if it doesn't clear up in a few weeks, I'd suggest taking your cat in to a vet.
Avatar m tn I had ringworm on my back and I thought I cleared it up with cream but discontinued using cream and it came back. Then I got a massage and the ringworm spread to my legs and groin. First showed up in groin with bad symptoms. then I wore compression socks and the ringworm has spread in around the line of the top of the sock. kinda shocking. its been very hard to treat.
Avatar f tn By the next day the ringworm will be gone. My children got ringworm in school and a Fillipino lady cured them this way. In case it isn't ringworm that you have, you might want to try this on just one spot.
Avatar n tn Apply warm compresses on the lymph nodes and complete the treatment for ringworm as prescribed by your doctor. Once ringworm is treated, lymph nodes will come back to their normal size. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how your daughter is doing.
Avatar m tn We both assumed it’s ringworm so she prescribed 100mg of fluconazole. It’s been about 3 weeks and it’s not working. I’m starting to think it’s not ringworm bc it hasn’t spread anywhere. Does anyone have an idea of what they could be? The bumps are about the size of a dime and raised and they’re both next to each other, one above the other.
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 f tn I have asked many different veterinarians about this and have read on the Internet which sometimes can lead to reading false information but I was wondering, can the worms that cats get be given to humans? I have heard no and maybe and yes. Those that told me no said that the types of worms cats get are not the same types of worms that a human can get and they are rarely, if ever, transferred from species to species. Those that told me maybe said that you maybe could if you ingested some eggs.
