Suggest Treatment For Skin Infection On Hands And Thighs
Hello my name is Covkl m klvrow I have been suffering with a skin infection for about a year it developed last year when my doctor put me on antibiotics to treat a bladder infection I get bladder infections quite often because I have bladder leakage and I have wear diapers so I get infections all the time.I want to find out what to use for this skin infection that is on both wrist and lower arms and on my left inner thigh it is dark in color.
Hi. As per your case history you are having fungal infection called as tinea corporis. My treatment advice is - 1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily. 2. Apply an antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream twice daily on affected skin. 3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days. 4. Other treatment options are oral fluconazole, itraconazole and terbinafine taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks. Dr. Harshit bhachech. MBBS, DDVL.
