Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thank you for the reply.
I will attach a few more images, just to be certain that you can confirm your diagnosis.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I read and understand your concern.
Apply Framycetin cream (Soframycin cream) twice daily for two weeks.
Use 2 percent Miconazole cream at night for a duration of six weeks. Ensure the application extends 20 millimeters beyond the margins.
Take a 5 milligrams tablet of Levocetirizine antihistamine at night after food for six days if irritation occurs.
Refrain from scratching or rubbing the lesions and avoid occlusion, friction, and pressure.
Steer clear of injury or trauma to the affected site.
Keep the area clean and dry as moisture promotes fungal growth. Maintain short nails to prevent further irritation. It is essential to stay motivated not to scratch or rub the lesions. Emphasize the role of proper hygiene, as it plays a crucial part in avoiding recurrence.
Looking forward to your response in order to help you.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thank you for the reply.
Please can you just confirm that it is ringworm or as you said Tinea?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I read and understand your concern.
It is a case of Tinea (ringworm). To prevent spreading to other sites, refrain from scratching and rubbing the lesions. Use Dersil AF (Ketoconozole) body wash 20 minutes before bathing for the next 20 days. Additionally, incorporate Ketoconazole soap for bathing over the next two months. It is crucial to stay motivated and avoid scratching or rubbing the lesions to facilitate the healing process.
Looking forward to your response in order to help you.
Thank you.
