and experienced a terrible cough as a side effect? My dog (7 lb pekingese mix) has been taking it for 2 days (100 mg 2x daily) and she had her third dose today. Since beginning this drug, she’s developed a terrible, nagging cough. She doesn’t seem to have any other side effects but it almost seems like she has a little trouble breathing at times (she begins to pant). I will call the vet in the morning and let them know that I’m going to discontinue this drug. Has anyone else experienced this?

Ketoconazole 2%… for yeast infections..it’s 2010 and it expired in 2006

I was recently perscribed Ketoconazole 2% cream for jock itch and it says on the information leaflet "Do not apply this medication in the eyes, nose, mouth, or vagina." My concern is if I can have sex with my girlfriend after this cream is applied or not? Since the area the cream is on would be near/in her vagina or mouth even though I’m not exactly "applying" it to them. Any help would be great. Thanks.

I had a fungus on the back of my leg awhile back which a doctor gave me prescribed cream for called Ketoconazole. Well it seemed to work and the fungus would look alot better and i stopped itching except for when i would sit on objects that i had sat on before like couches, carpet, my seat in my car. Is it possible the fungus is living inside the fabrics? If so how can i kill this because when i sit there i almost imediately start itching. I dont itch when i go places i have never been around or sat. And I am not allergic to anything.

Im a 21yr old Female, I stareted noticing thining of my hair, then itchyness, red spots and now i noticed hair loss. I went to the doctor and she said I had inflamation in my scalp and what I had was Dermititis, she prescibed a shampoo called Ketoconazole 2%. But it burns. Would my hair regrow?? What other thing can i do to make it stop falling??? Can i change my diet?? Or stop my birth control?? I have the lowest dose on birth control. Please help…. Im becoming depressed because of it.

Hi,

For the last 4 months or so I’ve been having a reoccuring rash on my face. It’s always in the same place: just beside my nose.
I’ll try to explain it as best i can. It’s red, itchy, irritatting, flaky, scab like appearance to it. I think it may be a form of eczema. I’ve been using Nizoral cream (w/ ketoconazole) It works, and after a few days the rash has gone but it keeps coming back every few weeks.

Thanks all for your answers. I’ve been to my doctor about it, he said it’s a form of eczema. I’ve been using the cream he prescribed for me. I use it, it goes away then it comes back again. usually in a 3 week period. I keep my face clean, I wash it daily using a soap free face wash and mositurizer ( loreal for men kind)
I think I’ll go see a dermatologist about it. Who said it was aids? lol
anyways thanks everyone

I currently have one spot of tinea versicolor on my face. I had it for about two weeks but i didnt know what it was so i went to the doc. he said i got it from swimming and i guess since im doing cross country right now the sweat and bacteria must have caused it . He gave me a prescription for ketoconazole 2% cream. Ive been using it for the past two weeks , applying it twice a day. It seems my spot has a darken spot in the center of the circle, and the outer thin circle is white. Im hoping that this is a good sign so can you tell me if this is a bad or a good sign ?

For the past five-six days, i’ve been having major discomfort. I’ve been to the doctors twice within the past week and a half and I was prescribed a medication for a yeast infection the first time, but nothing cleared up, so i went back. This time she just checked and told me i looked fine, but gave me a Ketoconazole cream. She thinks my swelling and discomfort is from recently using dryer sheets since i’ve never used them before and possibly a change of soap. I recently bought dove unscented bar soap and stopped using dryer sheets. However, today I realized that I started swelling up again and am still very sensitive with my clit. It also does sometimes hurt when i urinate, but the doctor told me i didn’t have a uti, when my pee test came back normal. I’m all stressed out and I just want it to go away. I’m even late for my period, which hardly ever happens.
Also, I haven’t had sex in two years. And i’m also 18 years old, so I have no idea why this is happening to me.

I have very stubborn ringworm. It’s large spots on the left side of both of my legs and a spot on my arm. The one on my arm is almost gone, thanks to the meds. The two conjoined ones on my left leg are bigger but the one on my right leg appears to be the most resistant.

I was on over-the counter lotion for 5 weeks. It did nothing. My doctor put me on 2 % ketoconazole cream and oral terbinafine pills. I’m pretty sure it’s working- as in making me not contagious and killing the fungus, but the red spots aren’t going away which is my biggest concern. I can scratch and touch my ringworm all I want, lay in my bed repeatedly without changing the sheets everyday, etc. and it doesn’t grow or spread to anywhere else on my body (I’m convinced that I’m quarantined) but I just want the spots to go away because they’re ugly and I want to wear shorts again.

I’ve been using the clear nail polish trick since yesterday and it appears to be helping a little (lighter spots in the red masses) but I was wondering what else will work. I don’t want to use bleach because I scar easily and my right leg has a scratch through the ringworm, I dont want the bleach getting into my blood. Will calamine lotion help to dry it out faster than nail polish, in combo with the prescription lotion, oral pills and nail polish? Other household solutions?

Okay I went to the dermatologist a couple days ago and I showed him my skin on my stomach and lower back. I have spots that are a lighter tone than my skin tone. I’ve had this problem since as I was a little kid like 7 years old but me and my mom always thought it would just go away. Now i’m 16 and it seems to have spread a bit more. I have it on my chest, stomach and lower back. My dermatologist prescribed me a ketoconazole cream to be applied twice daily. I have been doing so but I was wondering if my skin tone will ever be even and if so how long will it take for me to see results?

PS: My dermatologist never said I have Tinea versicolor but I went online and googled the kenoconazole cream he prescribed me for the "skin discoloration" and I came across a site about tinea versicolor. I looked at the photos and automatically realized that is what I have.
