Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

It is a superficial fungal infection caused by Malassezia furfur species (Pityriasis Versicolor infection).

I have these suggestions for you-

1. Apply Ketoconazole cream twice daily in the morning and night for four weeks.

2. Candid TV (Clotrimazole and Selenium Sulfide) lotion or Ketoconazole lotion 20 minutes before bath and after bath for 20 days.

3. Use Ketoconazole soap for the bath for two months.

4. You can take a tablet Levocetirizine 5 mg at night after food for two weeks.

5. Tablet Fluconazole 400 mg only once immediately after food.

6. Micogel (miconazole) cream in the evening for four weeks.

7. You must keep a check on your sugar levels. Keep sugar levels under control.

8. You must avoid scratching and rubbing lesions. Also, keep your nails short.

9. You must avoid activities that can cause sweating.

10. You must wear loose, comfortable thin cotton clothes and avoid occlusion, friction, and direct sunlight.

Thank you.

Same symptoms doesn’t mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
