I have had this rash for around 10 months. Started under and around breasts, armpits, ribcage, spread to abdomen, thigh and seems to be getting worse. Been prescribed Nystatin and most recently Ketoconazole ( even though it doesn t look like ring worm or even round).Doesn t itch or ooze. Any idea what ican try?
1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily. 2. Apply an antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream twice daily on it. 3. Take an antihistamine like levocetirizine for 7-10days . 4. Other treatment options are oral fluconazole, itraconazole and terbinafine given only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks. Dr.Harshit Bhachech. MBBS, DDVL.
