A member asked:

I have a bad fungus on my foot. i need antibiotics and a very strong cortisone cream. i had this before and these were the only medication that worked. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Antibiotic: Fungal foot infections return because the environment is infected. You will never get rid of a fungal foot infection unless you get rid of all the shoes and footwear that you wore while having a fungal infection and clean the rug, bedding, and floor. Steam and bleach can kill fungal infections. (never drink bleach)

A member asked:

What can be done about itching in skin folds? The itching is more intense when bathing in warm water. Medicated talcum powder gives only temporary relief. Antibiotic ointments only seem to make it worse. Cortisone cream has no effect one way or the other.
