Question 1

what is a good cream for anti fungal for skin ?

Accepted Answer

: Miconazole or clotrimazole is OTC antifungal cream OTC you can use. Take care.

Question 2

ex: face skin compromised, letting yeast come in. repair skin barrier or use anti-fungal? two sides to this argument. how would you go about this?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Treating candida with an antifungal is not the best idea, without determining the cause, and whether the immune system is involved systemically. You mentioned the candida can come through an opening in  your skin. So if you have an open wound of any kind, and are worried about an infection, or if it looks suspicious, and you want it treated accurately and precisely, then you should see your physician so they can do an examination, and make a diagnosis. Then treatment will be forthcoming.

Question 3

what you suspect when a lady 49 nearing menopause has change in skin at junction of two labias with itch and minute sores, anti fungal does not help?

Accepted Answer

A few possibilities: If you have already tried antifungals (which is a great first try!), then i'm wondering if this may be thinning of your vulvar tissue from waning hormone levels. The sores could be mild atrophy combined with normal sex - be sure to use a lubricant! the itching still bothers me, so that may just be the healing process. The most i would suggest would be otc Hydrocortisone cream to ease irritation.

Question 4

how long are you supposed to leave anti fungal cream on ring worm for? do you rub in or leave on skin for a while?

Accepted Answer

: You put on an amount equal to that needed for you to know its there but not easy to remove with a tissue. (thin layer) You then leave it there to dissipate at random. Most are re-applied so they go on 2X/day.

Question 5

i tried the anti fungal cream and it doesn't seem to be fungal but eczema please help? it keeps coming and going 3de time it's coming back do i need to take him to a skin dr? as their cream for eczema? to take it away for good?

Accepted Answer

Some basics: Eczema is a lifelong condition marked by periods of flare up &amp; later resolution. Since you have not provided any description of the issue beyond your self diagnosis it is hard to provide any reasoned answer. You need to make a list of you symptoms &amp; past attempts to treat &amp; take it with you to a visit where it can be examined.

Question 6

i have red-brown skin sround groin area and even after applying anti fungal creams the itching is not going away,what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Rash or Fungus: in the groin area not responding to anti-fungal.  Please continue to see your doc.  Additionally, have  you changed your laundry detergent?  Are you sensitive to a certain food?  Fungus loves dark and damp places.  Try to get some sone in the area, keep it dry, and change underwear frequently.   Don''t sit around in work out clothing.  Peace and good health.

Question 7

how do you treat skin irritation in the perineum due to toilet bowl chemicals? tried anti fungal creams ketocnazole cream 2% but they do not help.

Accepted Answer

Skin Irritation: Anti fungal creams do not treat inflammation. You need to use a mild cortisone cream like Hydrocortisone or the prescription Cloderm or Locoid (hydrocortisone butyrate) lotion in the groin.

Question 8

can anti fungal cream dry out vagina skin? i used it for yeast, but my skin seems to be drying out and starting to bleed?

Accepted Answer

: You are too young for vaginal atrophy to be the cause of the dryness. Yeast infections occasionally do cause vaginal dryness. It appears that you should have your gynecologist examine you for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Question 9

i have a horrible skin infection itchy puss filled spots it comes and goes.been using anti fungal cream..wondering what to do?

Accepted Answer

Skin infection: Fungal infections can cause pustules and boils on the skin, but more often it is a bacterial infection which needs antibiotics.  Antifungal creams would not help.  Other conditions that cause result in pustules include psoriasis, reactions to medications, acne, other inflammatory conditions.  Please see a dermatologist for the proper diagnosis and treatment.

Question 10

i hv fungal infection.i was using anti fungal cream..but it has been not removed frm my skin. n affected area has becum black spotted.its burn a lot?

Accepted Answer

Different med: Depending on what type of medication you used it is the response you get. Like antibiotics for bacteria not all antifungals cover all fungus. It is probably a good idea to get prescribed another type of antifungal medication and check if it works. Another possibility is that it might not be fungal but other type of condition. F/u with a Dermatologist on this if not better.
