Tinea Versicolor?

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 ?

Which of the following type of infectious agent can cause an infected host cell to burst in a lytic infection?

A. Bacteria
B. Fungus
C. Prion
D. Virus

Is it a virus?

What prescription to treat ear infection?

I’ve had an ear infection for a while now. I’ve got the gross leaking going on.

Went to an ENT today and he didn’t even know that you gotta treat an ear infection like this for bacteria and fungus.

He gave me neomycin.

What have you been prescribed for an ear infection of this type?

face infection, fungus athletes foot?

hi, im a female in my 20s.i dont have any history of medical problems. my immune system is fine. i dont have acne, i have normally clear skin
and i hardly get rashes or infections.i have no disease or illness.
a person who had athletes foot and a history of flesh eating disease on their foot put their barefeet into my shoes without me knowing. another person told me they did it, and the shoes were all strectched out from another person putting them on but i wore them anyways barefoot since i had no other shoes or socks

then i got a bad case of athletes foot on my feet, it was horrible, my feet burned me and was awful. i scrubbed my feet in the sink with my hands and soap and water for a couple of days.
and the foot infection is mostly gone

but i forgot to wash my hands or it traveled to my hands because i ate and rubbed my face afterwards and afterwars the fungal infection from my feet spread to the entire bottom half of my face. from my nose, each cheek, covering my mouth and chin. my entire bottom half of my face is swollen and red and stiff and crispy, the skin is crusty and dry and my face burns when i put water on it

i tried taking a sink hose and running it over my face and putting this face scrub on my face and it seems to help. i did this the last few days and the rednedd and swelling went down a bit, but my face is still sort of red and very crusy. my mouth was seeled shut, i could not open my lips to eat food, the skin was stiff.i had to try hard to open my mouth
its crusty and red and scaly and dry. my face hurts when i even run water on it
what should i do,? washing plus running water over my face seems to help alot but it didnt get rid of the problem completely

i know its a fungus infection because it spread to my face from my feet from touching my feet , and the foot thing is athletes foot

do i need antibiotics? or should i keep washing my face every day?
i cant put any cream on because it makes it worse
theres so much fungus and bacteria on my face that the cream would trap it. when i wash my face it helps to wash off the fungus

so what should i do? do i need a doctor? i dont have health insurance

will just washing my face be fine, but it dosnt go away ive been washing my face for 4 days and its not completely gone

Best alternative medicine for skin fungal infection?

My friend has this irritating itchiness in her thigh and feet. Doctor says it could be fungal infection or bacteria. She applied Lydex Cream and so far it helped. Though it did not take away the itchiness and skin irritation even if she already consumed 1tube. Please advise what is the best alternative medicine that can be found in the Philippines?

How long can a person have blood infection?

The reason I ask is that i would basically like to know if it is possible for an infection to enter the system even if it was mild, and how long bacteria would be in the blood?

I had two infections in one go, both treated with antibiotics, I was still feeling ill so I had some blood tests including Full Blood Count and Blood Cultures among other tests, the tests all came back perfectly clear. But I have been getting worse and I am now getting told that it is all psychological.

However, I would like to know how long a person can have blood infection/sepsis? Would having had antibiotics mask the test results?
