Question 2

Hi doctor, Ive been dealing with ringworm on different parts of my body. Ive tried fluconazole, terbinafine, and various creams, but nothing seems to work. Right now, Im using Zalim lotion. Should I continue with this or try something else?

Accepted Answer

Fluconazole and terbinafine are commonly used antifungal medications for ringworm. In addition to these, using topical antifungal creams can also be helpful. Zalim lotion contains clobetasol propionate which is a steroid used to reduce inflammation and itching associated with skin conditions. For better results, continue using Zalim lotion as directed and also consider adding an antifungal cream containing clotrimazole or miconazole to your treatment regimen. Make sure to apply the medications consistently and keep the affected areas clean and dry.

Question 3

Hi, I have a 7-month-old baby and Im wondering if P. folliculitis and P. versicolor are contagious. If I carry him, could it spread to him?

Accepted Answer

As a parent, it's natural to worry about your baby's health.Pityrosporum Folliculitis (P. Folliculitis) and Pityriasis Versicolor (P. Versicolor):Both conditions are caused by the overgrowth of a yeast-like fungus called Malassezia. This fungus is naturally present on human skin and can cause problems when it grows excessively.Neither P. Folliculitis nor P. Versicolor is highly contagious. The fungus that causes these conditions is already present on human skin, and overgrowth is often triggered by individual factors, such as:1. Hormonal changes2. Stress3. Genetics4. Environmental factors (e.g., humidity, temperature)Risk of transmission to your baby:The risk of transmitting P. Folliculitis or P. Versicolor to your 7-month-old baby is low. However, it's essential to take precautions:

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection, such as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Luliconazole twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding tight underwear can help with the healing process.
