A member asked:

Can a bad fungal infection cause rash that hurts/tingle/crawly feeling? i thought scabies/derm says allergy.prednisone made worse, miconazole helping.

Dr. John Chiu answered

Not usual: Since prednisone made it worse, I suspect that your problem may be from an anxiety reaction if there is no visible rash. If there is a rash, then one needs to consider other conditions than allergy (which usually causes itching). This is not likely from a fungal infection however. Get a 2nd opinion if needed.
