Hello Doctor, this is the current situation of my dad. He has got a kind of skin disease which has spread in his hands and fingers which according to different dermatologists it can be psoriasis, eczema, or dermatitis. The symptoms are as the following: water blisters, very itchy skin, scaly and swollen fingers, skin that bleeds, cracks, is painful, red and crusty. Most of the doctors ask him if he uses detergents or solvents frequently which is a clear "no! the doctors have prescribed him lots of ointments such as lippu ointment, verdura intense moisturizing lotion, dermalibourrepairing cream, dermovate,777 oil which has to apply and place his hands in the sun for 5 minutes, psorolina medicated bathing bar to wash his hands, bioderma,beclomin ointment, candiderma ointment and finally anti bio tics pills. None have been helpful and effective. My dad is still suffering and it's becoming really painful. This has been the case for 4 years, sometimes the disease calms down and go away but then it comes back. I really need the proper and right information about that disease and its cure. Thanking you in advance.

I am 27 year old male and I am a pharmacist. I am suffering from ringworm infection from last 2 years on my right hip (since december 2012), I got this infection from my younger brother (his got relief from it with in 2-5monts, now he is ok). I have taken lots of medicine since 2 years, my doctor prescribed me ketoconazole cream + beclomethasone, neomycin, clotrimazole cream + 1tab fluconazole + some antihistamine drug. Some doctor prescribed me terbinafin also. When I take fluconazole tablet with appling cream also I got relief from it for 10 to 15 days, but with continue application of creams, it again occurs, some one suggest me to use clotimazole dusting powder, it give me relief but not give cure and thi again occurs. When I use combination of 3 creams (ketoconazole cream + beclomethasone, neomycin, clotrimazole cream + clobetasol, nomycin, miconazole cream) I got relief when I apply this combination. But during application of this combination it not appear & when I stop it again occurs. Please suggest me for resistant ringworm infection, which is initially half ring and now it is dotted in a small area which also looks like ring type with itching. Thanks

Do not use combination creams as they have steroid in them which does not cure the fungus but gives temporary relief. Use nizral cream twice a day on the itchy areas for 4 weeks regularly. Wear light loose breathable fabric like cotton to avoid sweating and aggravation of fungus.
