A member asked:

I've been using topical steroids on what i'm now thinking is pityrosporum folliculitis as lamisil cream is helping. does topical steroids not make this worse as opposed to ringworm?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

When applied over fungal infections (ringworm) , topical steroids have either no effect or may even accelerate the fungal spread. Yet any skin condition causing altered skin integrity can have a superimposed fungal infection. In other words, you may have both. Your doc could sort it out.
