Hi,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.

You have tinea corporis. The creams that you have used are steroids that are not to be given for fungal infection. Application of these creams has aggravated your situation. Topical treatment can be used for relief but you need to be started on oral medicines for complete relief. To start you on oral medicines, you first have to get LFT test done and then follow up with the report. Meanwhile, you can use the creams mentioned below for now.

Thank you for consulting me.

You can always reach me at icliniq.com.

The Probable causes

Tinea corporis.

Investigations to be done

LFT.

Treatment plan

The following is the treatment plan 1. Lulifin cream twice a day, Amlorofine cream twice a day. 2. Tablet Levocetirizine 5 mg twice a day for itching.
