Suggest Treatment For Rashes Near The Gluteal Fold In An Elderly Person
A 72-year-old female presents with complaints of a rash near the gluteal fold on the right side. It is a painful vesicular rash, onset approximately 2 days ago, with no fever but occasional burning and sensitivity at the site. She has tried triple antibiotic ointment without relief. She has been widowed for 10 years and has a steady boyfriend whom she has dated for 6 months and recently became sexually active with. What other questions would you like to ask your patient?
Your symptoms seem to be related to a fungal infection. I suggest using Clotrimazole cream for local application. I also suggest using Fluconazole 150 mg daily for three days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
