Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am having ring like patches all over the body for the past five months. I have itching all over the body including private parts and now it spreads to face as well. I had Griseofulvin tablets, Liv-Cet-5 twice daily and Terbinaforce Plus cream for the last 2 months. But, it did not cure my problem. So, I have stopped taking it now. Kindly help me.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You should not have used Terbinaforce plus cream (combination of Clobetasol propionate, Ofloxacin, Ornidazole and Terbinafine) as it contains Clobetasol which is a steroid. It aggravates fungal infection and does not get it cured. You should take capsule Itraconazole 100 mg twice daily along with Luliconazole cream on the affected area once daily. You can continue with Liv-Cet-5 (Levocetirizine) twice daily as it is an antihistamine and will relieve itching. Continue this treatment for two weeks and then revert back. Besides this you should not share your towel and soap. Wear loose cotton clothes and be in a cool and airy environment.

Hi doctor,
Luliconazole is not available nearby. Can you suggest an alternative for Luliconazole?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
You can use Sertaconazole cream on the affected area twice daily. It is as effective as Luliconazole cream.
