Use a combination of Clotrimazole cream and Hydrocortisone cream. Apply a thin layer of Clotrimazole cream (such as Canesten) followed by a thin layer of Hydrocortisone cream (such as Cortaid) on the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation.

Roxid 150 is also a form of Roxithromycin, so it may not be suitable for you if you had a reaction to it in the past. An alternative antibiotic that can be considered for your current symptoms of fever, cough, and cold is Azithromycin. You can take Azithromycin 500mg once daily for 3 days. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe and appropriate for you.

Question 4

I've been dealing with seborrheic dermatitis for about five years now and have tried almost every type of treatment, but nothing seems to completely help. What else can I try, or is there something I might be missing in managing it?

In cases where conventional treatments have not been effective, a prescription medication like Ketoconazole shampoo (2%) can be helpful. You can use it twice a week for 4 weeks, then once a week for maintenance. Additionally, a topical corticosteroid like Clobetasol propionate cream (0.05%) can be applied to affected areas twice daily for up to 2 weeks. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
