Answer 1

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thanks for writing in, and I understand your concern. I need some more information for the proper assessment. Are you diabetic? Do you have any history of fungal infection? Do you have excessive sweating? Do you have any history of atopy or allergies? Do you wear a tight bra? Is there chronic friction at the site of depigmentation? Kindly reply. Regards.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I suggest you take the following medications. Apply Luliconazole 1% cream twice daily in the morning and night for three weeks. Apply Miconazole 1% in the evening for three weeks. Use Ketoconazole soap for bathing for two months. Apply Clotrimazole dusting powder (Candid powder) after bathing on areas of sweating or occlusive areas for one month. Take Tablet Levocetirizine 5 mg at night after food for seven days (if there is itching). Avoid scratching and rubbing of lesions. Keep nails short. Avoid activities that cause sweating. Wear loose, comfortable thin cotton clothes or inners. Avoid occlusion or friction. Avoid moisture as moisture favors fungal growth. Keep a check on sugar levels. Keep sugar levels under control. Stay in well-ventilated cool room or environment. I suggest a follow-up after three weeks. Regards.
