Know How iCliniq’s Dermatologist Cured a Fungal Skin Infection Online

A male patient reported to iCliniq with a complaint of a fungal infection on his buttocks. He also said that the infection has turned black in color and is very itchy when sitting for an extended period during work. He also complained that the infection gets worse on sweating.

He wanted iCliniq's dermatologist to tell him the cause and help him with some medications to get rid of his symptoms.

Our doctor listened to all his complaints and wanted more detailed information and a few photographs so that he could come to a diagnosis.

The doctor asked how long he had been suffering from this problem and wanted to know if he had contacted any doctor nearby in his locality or has ever gotten a physical examination done.

The patient replied, saying that it has been there for more than a year, and he could not see any doctor due to this pandemic lockdown. He attached some pictures of the lesion for our doctor's reference.

After seeing the photographs and history, our doctor diagnosed that the patient was suffering from Tinea Corporis, suggested a few medications, and asked him to revert after three weeks. The patient reverted happily, saying that his symptoms have reduced and that he is just having slight itching on touching that area. Our doctor was very pleased that the patient was relieved of the symptoms and asked him not to touch that area and gave him another medication.

The doctor also gave some tips for maintaining hygiene and preventing this infection from recurring. He asked the patient to follow up after 50 days.

As the doctor's suggested medicines relieved his symptoms, and the treatment was very helpful for him, the patient thanked our doctor. He also mentioned that he was satisfied that the doctor responded quickly and was empathetic towards his skin problem.
