I was diagnosed with scabies. no skin examination done to confirm this. given the cream no relief after 10 weeks I did a thuro cleaning of all house. I work in a field corn and bean production plant that treats their product with herbicides. could I have a fungal infection? I used a jock itch spray and kinda relieved the itch ## Hello, Connie! How are you doing? Can you tell me more about the rash? Scabies are actually a skin mite and you can usually tell if that's what you have, because they get more active whenever your warm, such as while working, in the shower or under the covers. Plus they tend to move in straight lines as the burrow in the skin, so you'll notice straight lines, or angular patterns.

Borofax was one of the best topical ointments for topical yeast infections. It was skin loving, pleasantly scented, and instantly effective. I would love for it to be available again. It was first recommended to me by nurse practitioners in the 1980's. I am distressed that it is no longer available. ## Hello, Jessica! How are you? If you live near a compounding pharmacy, they may custom make it for you, but it's likely to be expensive. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I also would like to get some original borafax. How do I get it.

I have yeast on my foot, blisters, pus, skin peeling, and a foul oder. Will this medication help me? ## Hello, Niesha! How are you? Yes, Terbinafine is an antifungal medication. Its side effects may include nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, indigestion, headaches and vertigo. However, you should only take it, if your doctor has confirmed that you have a yeast infection and that is the appropriate medication for you.

Dr has put me on a script for Terbinafine for treating fungal disease in toenails. I read online that it has side effects.

I had a miscarriage 10 months back due to a hematoma in the womb. And because of continued use of sanitary napkins, I developed a severe skin itch. Tried every topical application recommended by doctors. I am now told I have a fungal infection. I am advised Canesten (Clotrimazole) vaginal tablets. One hour after insertion, there was a milky liquid discharge. Is it the infection getting out or the medicine which hasn't been inserted well? Also, I'd like to know if these medicines have any side effects of any sorts- short term or long term?

My mom has been taking Thyrox 25 for the last month. However, she has been suffering from skin problems such as itching and rashes for the past 2 to 3 weeks. These rashes resemble rings on the skin and they're spreading. Could this be a side effect of the medication mentioned above? Please advise. ## The typical side effects of this medication are listed by the NIH as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings, weight changes, and hair loss. If she has a rash that looks like rings and is spreading, it could be a fungal infection, or something bacterial. She needs to have that checked out by her doctor. Is she on any other medications? Has there been any change in the rash?

Can Zoral Cream help remedy skin fungal infection? ## Zoral Cream contains the active ingredient Acyclovir, which is an antiviral medication, so no, it is not likely to help with a fungal infection. It is usually used to treat herpes related viral outbreaks of the skin, such as genital herpes. If you have an actual fungal infection, you should use an antibiotic or antifungal medication. Are there any questions or comments? ## Hi I always got this cold sores around my mouth and I'm afraid it may trigger also to appear with the food I eat.is there any food that was not allowed to eat if a person got this skin desease?and do you think that its best to take pills whenever I got this?because now I was using cream which is Zoral cream.

i got fungal infection iam taking TABLET ABOVE how many days will take to cure my skin from fungal infection ## In general, most antibiotics are taken consistently for roughly 7-10 days before the infection is completely gone. But that is usually for non-fungal infections. Are you certain that your skin infection is fungus related? I only ask because, Tyza (Terbinafine) tablets are indicated for the treatment of onychomycosis of the toenail or fingernail due to dermatophytes (tinea unguium). As such, I have not found any specific details regarding its use for skin related infections. The dosing guidelines for this are listed below and do not mention anything about skin fungal infections: "Fingernail onychomycosis: One 250 mg tablet once daily for 6 weeks. Toenail onychomycosis: One ...
