I have skin problem in both armpits where scratching causes skin rash. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen your query and concern. With your descriptions and given pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity), it seems initially you have tinea corporis of this area due to the application of steroid containing creams like Quadriderm or Zalim lotion or Foderm. Now you developed eczematization this is my assumption since you have not sent detailed treatment history or it may be irritant contact dermatitis due to duo. Now I can make severe eczematization, so I would advise you not to apply any such thing if you have applied in the past. Start applying Mometasone plus, Sertaconazole 2% twice daily over the affected area for seven days, then stop Mometasone and continue Sertaconazole. Also, take Terbinafine 250 mg once daily for 21 days and Cetirizine once daily for five days. Get review after five days with detailed history.

Since you respond to Clotrimazole, it is tinea infection only. Do not worry it will get cured. You can follow the same medicine as I advised and use KZ soap for bathing and avoid any duo until the disease subsides. Tinea or fungal infection need a minimum six weeks of treatment or maybe longer. I would suggest you continue topical 2% Sertaconazole for six to eight weeks and stop Terbinafine after 21 days. Get reviews as and when needed.

Yes, you can take a small quantity of both over fingertip and can mix both and apply locally twice for seven days only then stop Mometasone and continue Sertaconazole only for two months twice daily. This Mometasone reduces your redness and eczematization.
