Which would be the best antifungal cream for yeast infection? Clotrimazole cream Nystatin HC Terbinafine hydrochloride ## For any type of fungal infection,be it Tinea Versicolor,Tinea pedis, Tinea cruris and corporis K20 cream is the best cream. Its very effective and economic also..so can apply for it long time without side effects..it does not contain any steroid.

How is this different from Tinactin? ## Hi John, Based on my research, Tinactin and Clarus-Antifungal solution both contain 1% of the same active ingredient Tolnaftate. The only difference would be the "inactive" ingredients used. Both of these anti-fungals come in cream form but from what I can gather, only Tinactin comes in an aerosol spray and powder formulation. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Tinactin Details I hope this helps! Please post back if you have any more questions.

My doctor put me on Diflucan for a toe nail fungus.Has anyone ever heard of this before? I've already had all ten toe nails cut out three times and I can't face that again or having the nails removed.My nails are hard and curl into my toes. ## Hi Missy, Based on my research, Diflucan (Fluconazole) is primarily used to treat Vaginal yeast infections and has been approved by the FDA for that purpose. However, it is sometime prescribed as a toe nail fungus medicine when the toe nail fungus is a mild case, or if the toe nail fungus infection looks to be yeast generated. I have heard of people getting relief from toe nail fungus while using Diflucan, so I hope it works well for you too.

I have tubes of Naftin and Econazole nitrate cream that have an expiration date of 9/11 and 11/11 on the crimp edge. Are they still good for treating athlete's foot between toes and for nail fungus on toes? ## Since they expired over a year ago, it's doubtful that they will be effective at treating anything now. All medications start to lose effectiveness over time and when it comes to a cream or liquid, they degrade even faster than tablets or other formulations. Learn more Naftin details here. Learn more Econazole details here. Thus, it would be best to get new tubes of them. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Can you use an anti-fungal liquid for nails after the expiration date (which is 3/17)? ## Can you use Fungicure after expiration?

Will my smelly and creamy white discharge affect my chances of getting pregnant? ## Hi nobantu, You are most likely dealing with a yeast infection; caused by a common fungus known as Candida. Normally the acid balance of the vagina keeps this fungus from multiplying, but changes in the acidity of the vagina (often due to illness, menstruation, pregnancy, some antibiotics, or birth control pills) can stimulate yeast growth. According to baby center.com, having a yeast infection will not directly affect your chances of getting pregnant. If you have any more questions or concerns, please post back! ## Thanx dear, so is there any specific medication I can refer 2 in terms of healing this problem of mine? ## My friend has an infection on her vaginal lips. I told her to go to the doctor but s...

I developed a severe fungal infection internally in my neck and vagina after taking natural wild organic mushroom capsules. I already had bacterial cellulitis in neck so this is probably why it developed there. I was choking on my own neck tissues n had a hacking cough. I My could feel the spores inside of my neck like tree roots n im not joking. My doc basically didn't believe this could happen n refused to prescribe antifungal. Luckily I had one at home anyway from before that I hadnt needed to use. I took it n next morning I was spitting up yellow mucus that was very smooth like cottage cheese weird I know but I guess thats the fungus coming out. The same thing happened next morning n then stopped. It killed off a good bit of fungus but was still a good bit left at same time but it

I'm experiencing itching in the vaginal area and spores are spreading. I'm continuously itching throughout the night. Also when I'm passing urine at that time I experience irritation.

I have an itching problem in my vagina, but it seems likes the problem is internal and eternal... What medication should I take? ## Vaginal itching is usually caused by a fungal infection, so antibiotics will not help, they can actual cause, or worsen them as side effects, according to NIH reports. Do you have any discharge or odor? Are you on any medications? Have you had this checked out by a doctor? Are you experiencing any other symptoms? ## Hello, I have been having this itching around my vagina for the last two months. I am not suspecting an STI cause I am still a virgin.
