Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have a reddish rash on my inner thigh since two months. I have attached a picture for your reference. It is annoying me a lot. Please help.
Hi,
I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.
I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.
I have reviewed the attached photographs (attachments removed to protect patient identity). According to me you are affected by ringworm infection. I would recommend you take tablet Terbinafine 250 mg once daily and apply Sertaconazole cream on the affected area twice daily. Continue this for three weeks and revert back. You will definitely notice some improvement. But do not stop the medicine on your own as recurrence is the most common issue with this condition. For itching take tablet Levocetirizine 5 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of the itching. Besides this, keep the area as dry as possible. Avoid sharing of soap and towel, wear loose cotton clothes and stay in cool and airy environment.
Thank you for consulting me.

Hi doctor,
Thank you for the reply.
I used the medicines as mentioned and the rash did not cure completely after three weeks. It just improved a bit. I do not have any itching, but the rash is little smelly. I have attached the photos for your reference.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I read and understand your concern.
I have reviewed the attached photographs (attachment removed to protect patient identity), but I cannot appreciate any rashes. Though, I would recommend you continue with Terbinafine tablet for another three weeks and apply Clotrimazole cream on the affected area twice daily for another three weeks. It should settle in another three weeks. Besides this use Fluconazole powder on the affected area for about two to three times a day.
Looking forward to your response in order to help you.
Thank you.
