Question 1

Hi doctor, I was prescribed Lulifin 1 cream along with oral antifungal capsules for a fungal infection in my groin area. After two days of using them, my skin has turned milky white, started peeling, and now has small blisters with a burning sensation. Is this a normal reaction? I should mention that Ive used over-the-counter creams before, which caused thin skin and stretch marks.

Accepted Answer

The symptoms you're experiencing, such as milky white skin, peeling, small blisters, and burning sensation, are not normal and may indicate an allergic reaction or sensitivity to the lulifin 1 cream or oral antifungal medication, so stop using the medication and consult your doctor immediately.

A common treatment option is minoxidil. You can try using Rogaine, which is a brand name for minoxidil. Apply 1 mL of Rogaine solution to the affected area on your scalp twice daily. It may help promote hair growth and prevent further hair loss. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.

Question 3

Ive been dealing with redness in my buttock area, and its causing itching and pain, especially when sitting or rubbing. Ive been applying Candid-B cream for the past 20 days, but its not getting better. Can you suggest something else to help cure this?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection in the buttock area. Since Candid-B cream has not been effective, I recommend trying a combination antifungal and steroid cream such as Lotriderm cream. Apply a thin layer of Lotriderm cream to the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. Additionally, keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid tight underwear to help with the healing process.

Question 4

Whenever I drink alcohol or eat non-veg, the area affected by my fungal infection starts itching and gets red. My doctor said alcohol isn't the cause, but I keep hearing it could be related to a liver issue. Can you clarify what might be happening?

Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.
