A member asked:
I have bad itching on the tops of my big toes in the evenings but skin looks fine. i've been taking terbinafine for two weeks for fungal nail infection (in both big toes) and also using loceryl. it's absolutely maddening. is it to do with the medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: The itching probably has more to do with the fungal infection. I would take 25 - 50 mg of benedryl at night to help the itching. Cool compresses with Domeboro solution may help as well. Benedryl cream is another options.
