I have a fungal skin infection. What medications can help me?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have had a rash on my hips and lower back for the past few months. The rash is mildly itchy, but I am worried as it is not going away. It tends to fade at times, and at other times, it becomes more prominent.
I even consulted a doctor who suggested it was a fungal infection and prescribed Miconazole cream, which I applied for one month. However, this did not help. Also, a few months ago, I developed an armpit rash that went away after the application of steroid cream.
What could it be?
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your query and understood your concern.
It seems you are having tinea cruris or tinea corporis. I suggest you use the Terbinafine (antifungal) cream topically twice daily and take a tablet of Terbinafine 250 milligrams once daily for two weeks.
Kindly consult a specialist doctor, talk with them, and take medicines with their consent.
I hope this has helped you.
Thanks and regards.
