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.

This gel helps in treating fungal infection of scalp. It does not contain any regrowth factors foe hair,
if you have fungal infection you can continue this gel. And for regrowth of hair you have to take some nutrition also. Which can help your hair to be get thick in quality. And could grow back.

Ringworm is not easy to treat now a day because of emerging resistance. It is not recommended to self treat the ringworm because reinfection and resistance is increasing. You have used steroid cream for ringworm, this can actually make other medicines ineffective.

Dear user. PHIMOSIS is a congenital narrowing of the opening of the foreskin so that it cannot be retracted. Phimosis is a very common problem. In most of the cases you can clear the problem yourself. Phimosis could cause moderate to severe pain while having vaginal intercourse. Apply oil on your foreskin and on the glans. Move the foreskin forward and back slowly without hurting you much. Because the oil is lubricant, it will be easier than without oil. Do this forward and back movement 20 tim...more

Good evening. Clobetasol is not to be used to ringworm. It will only make it worse and ruin your skin in the process.
For proper examination and treatment of your condition consult a qualified dermatologist in person or at the very least, through online consultation.

Dear Lybrate user, it is not advised to take any medicine for your infection without consulting with a doctor. He will examine your infection and only then medicine can be prescribed. Meanwhil, clobetasol is a steroid that will only suppress the symptoms and not cure the disease.

Stretch marks are caused by prior steroid cream use and not by fungal infection. According to the severity of your fungal infection and duration, dermatologist can decide whether you require oral medication or creams. Contact a certified dermatologist at the earliest.
