Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 29-year-old non-diabetic male. I am suffering from a jock itch and ringworm infection. I have been applying Quadriderm cream but I have not noticed any significant improvement. Rather, the itching has intensified. The inner thigh and anal area have turned brown. On ringworms, I have applied Candiderma Plus. But, there is no improvement. I have attached pictures of the infected area.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through the attachments (attachment removed to protect patient identity). I suggest you take an oral antifungal like Zimig 250 mg (Terbinafine) or Canditral (Itraconazole) 200 mg capsule once a day for four weeks. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and with their consent take the medicines. Topically, you may apply either Lulifincream (Luliconazole) 1% cream or Onabet (Sertaconazole) 2% cream twice daily for four weeks. In addition to this, you may take tablet Cetirizine 10 mg once daily for symptomatic relief from itching.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
Because of Cetirizine, I get a cough and it turns into asthma. Is it okay to use Levocetirizine and Montelukast combination?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Yes, that would be fine too.
