Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have ringworm on my leg and the upper side of my penis from one month. I have taken antibiotics like Terfaze. Please help.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I am not able to concentrate on my studies and other activities. It irritates me a lot.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It is a fungal infection. If you are not allergic to oral medications then take it because oral medications are important. Without oral medications, the fungal infection will not subside. I suggest you take a capsule Syntran (Itraconazole) 100 mg twice daily after meals for two weeks and tablet Levocetirizine 5 mg at bedtime for five to seven days. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and with their consent take the medicines. You also need to apply Onabet (Sertaconazole Topical) 2% cream in the morning and Lulizol (Luliconazole Topical) 1% cream at night. Keep the area clean and dry. You need to wash the clothes in hot water separately and maintain good hygiene.

Follow up after two weeks.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
