I appreciate your detailed description of the evolving skin condition following a mosquito bite. Considering the complexity of skin issues, it's vital to explore various diagnostic possibilities for a comprehensive understanding. 1. Tinea fungal infection (as recently diagnosed): - description: fungal infections, specifically tinea, often manifest with persistent itching and skin alterations caused by dermatophytes. - treatment: eberconazole, an antifungal agent, is a common prescription; however, responses may differ among individuals. 2. Herpes zoster (initially suggested by a physician): - description: herpes zoster, caused by the varicella-zoster virus, typically presents with painful blisters and may follow nerve pathways. - treatment: antiviral medications are standard, though steroid use can complicate the course and necessitate cautious management. Given the lingering symptoms, adverse reactions to amorolfine cream, and potential exacerbation of the infection, reevaluation of the diagnosis and treatment plan is imperative. Promptly communicate your concerns to your healthcare provider for a more nuanced approach. They may explore alternative antifungal medications or conduct additional tests to ensure precise diagnosis and effective management. In the interim, maintaining proper hygiene, ensuring the affected area remains clean and dry, and refraining from scratching are general measures that can contribute to overall skin health. Always adhere to your healthcare provider's guidance for the most tailored and efficacious management of your specific skin condition.

Hello, have you considered showing to your internist (or the doctor who treats you for diabetes.) the reason is that sometimes diabetics may have unexplained neuropathic pain, or sometimes its just a prequel of herpes zoster which diabetics are predisposed to. It could be either of these as you are unlikely to have pain due to 4 mm calculi unless its causing irritation and spasm. All the best.
