After a couple of days using this cream, I have broken out and it looks like my skin is raw, open and red... What is the problem? ## I broke out with a rash on my stomach, sides, top of arms & back. It's very itchy with blotchy red spots. Can hyderm / clotrimaderm help my situation? ## This medication is used to treat fungal infections, such as yeast.

Have a tube of Clotrimazole Beta. Dipro. cream, 1%. Don't know how long I've had it and can't interpret date code on end of tube. It is 669K 00T12 -- please tell me what the expiration date is. ## Look at the metal end of the tube and you will see the expiration date. You may need a magnifier. It is etched. ## Bob, can you see the manufacturer name on there anywhere? If so let me know, maybe it would be possible to contact them with that lot # and they could know the date based on that? And Jasmine's suggestion is probably right too, any luck with that? Interested to know either way. ## I posted the "Exp. date" etched on the end of the tube. But it's not a date! My question is, what does it translate into, datewise? Guess I'll have to query the mfr. ## Mf...

I have a full prescription bottle of Clotrimazole 10 mg troche. They were issued to me December 26, 2013. Today is January 13, 2017. They've been kept in my dresser drawer in bedroom in controlled temperature indoors. I currently have Oral Thrush in my mouth and a vaginal yeast infection . I need to know if i can take these tablets? ## This medication does not become dangerous, once expired, but it does start to lose efficacy, so it likely will not work as well as it did, when new. Thus, it would be best to see your doctor for a new prescription. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and stomach pain. Is there anything else I can help with?

Why can't patients under 17 use it? What harm could a topical steroid really cause? ## Hello, Mygirlz! How are you? There are actually several reasons and they vary by the age of the pediatric patient. For instance, in children under 12, there have been cases where they absorbed too much of it, due to their smaller body mass to skin ratio and suffered dangerous toxicity, this may also apply to those from 13 to 17. And for children from 13 to 17, there have been instances of adrenal suppression from its use. And all children from 12 to 17 risk developing Cushing's Syndrome from using it. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Is growth a concern in children under 12? My son had a bad rash and was given Triamcinolone Acetone Cream USP 0.1% 30 g. He did not use the whole tube. ...
