I’ve got a fungal infection on the side of my face that refuses to go away. I’ve tried Lamisil (2 tubes!), Nizoral and even Selsun (this one is burning my skin up).

Even the Dermatologist doesn’t know what to do next.

Has anyone had similar problems and what did you do to fix it?

Thanks!

i believe i have a fungal infection on my chest
i would have to go see a dermatologist for that right
how much does it cost

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

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.

Hi everyone !
I’ve been using KETOCONAZOLE 2% CREAM, in my face, like my dermatologist told me too.. at the beggining I’ve never had no side effects from using it , but from the past days my face has been burning, itching and its all red ..

What does that mean ??? Is that a sign that my skin is getting better, or is this bad ??

Has anyone ever used this cream ??? If so, did it do any good on your skin ???

Please I need help, I already set-up an emergency appointment with my dermatologist for tomorrow at 8am, but i’m worried !

I guess I was feeling better when I wasnt using this cream on my face

I’m super sad … =/
by the way, the cream its suppose to be for something called seborrheic dermatitis , that my dermo "thinks" i have on my face …. =(

I have moderate-to-severe seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp. It’s definitely stress-related as it flares up during stressful periods. In the past my dermatologist prescribed Nizoral (ketoconazole) shampoo but I was not pleased enough with the results to keep using it instead of my regular shampoo.

Anyone have good experiences with other prescription (or non-prescription) shampoos? I’ve just come across Capex (fluocinolone) and Loprox (ciclopirox) while searching the web so I’d be especially interested in hearing about those.

I know this sounds gross trust me it grossed me out too…well about 7 years ago i got my nipples pierced. About 4 years ago i had to wear one of those adhesive backless bras for a fashion show i currently had. well it was summer time and i didnt think about taking my piercings off. Well about a coule weeks or a month later i started getting bumps then a rash. i would put ointments, achahol, everything! well it got worse it started getting wet, puss, odor, bumpy, then red, dry and flaky! so i took out my piercings! well it spreaded to the other breast for a couple of months then disappeared! well iam still have problems with my left breast its huge! about half of the size of your palm. i went to couple of different doctors. they gave me tons of medication but they didnt know how to treat it. i tryed ultrasound- nothing- no infections. scrapping- nothing!…….so know iam reffered to a dermatologist.
Is there a chance i can sue the bra company? i had it for a year an half now!
HELP

Allow me to explain..
Well, I had really wonderful skin all through high school.
This past summer, before beginning my first semester at college, I developed this hard bump on my chin area.
It wasn’t the kind of bump that has anything in it && will eventually pop by itself. It was just hard and it was just there and I thought it would go away eventually. I really didn’t have a regimen. I had been eating junk food for the longest time && never had any troublesome acne before that point. It started to spread to the right of my chin around my jaw line. Not cool. I never thought that people could get acne on their jaw before. o.O It’s rather annoying. I only ever had a few bumps on my forehead. Eventually, I got really bad acne around my mouth and my chin got worse. Now, I also have it on the sides of my face. It’s like little, red, enflamed blocked pores everywhere on my face. Actually, my forehead is pretty clear. I only have a few flesh-colored bumps there. Everywhere else is so red, especially my jaw line and around my mouth and I feel obligated to wear makeup to go out in public. This has really affected me emotionally by the way. I am at the point of my life where I am beginning a new transition and meeting new people and I feel the need to impress. I definitely feel hindered at impressing anyone because of the way I look. I definitely do not like wearing makeup. It feels really uncomfortable to me, but I have to. I just do. I don’t even think I know how to put it on correctly, but I try anyway. I have been to the dermatologist twice. The first time she prescribed Ovace Face Wash, Metrogel, and Ziana. A week ago, I went in and she prescribed Ketoconazole Tablets (I think she believes the acne is from too much yeast) and Salicylic Acid 6 & Lotion as a moisturizer (Which I find relatively sticky and makes it all the more difficult to apply my makeup after.) I would have thought that most of my acne would have calmed down by now and vanished since I got it all the way back in like.. May, but unfortunately, that’s not the case. I supplement with Fish Oil, Pantothenic Acid, a Multivitamin, Zinc, and my recent addition — Vitamin D3. Pretty much, I am at my wit’s end. I wish I never tried any commercial products such as Proactiv. That thing must have started all of my problems. Don’t ever try it! The sad thing is, when I tried it I had like one little invisible pimple on my forehead. I used to love taking pictures of myself and just updating my profile picture every week on myspace/facebook. Now, my picture is from like two years ago. I, seriously, refuse to have my picture taken. I don’t feel like socializing at all. I really want to go on dates. I have the opportunity to go on dates. People actually like me for my personality apparently. But even so, I still won’t go on dates with people because I absolutely despise the way I look and I don’t want people to see me at my worst. I know for people without acne, you won’t understand. You’ll just think I’m throwing this way out of proportion. A lot of my friends (Who, of course, never experienced the problem of acne), think I’m being a little too dramatic, but they never had it, so what would they know about it?! It really is emotionally and socially wrecking. Instead of focusing on school work and researching on google for a class or two, I would be found googling to look up new solutions for my acne situation. I cannot even think in my classes. I know a lot of people go through life with acne and are absolutely fine. Well, I know some of those people, but their acne is not bright red and all over the place like mine. They look pretty normal. I would like to have that kind of acne instead. It’s troubling that it is around my mouth because that’s an important place to keep clear and sometimes newer acne hurts and makes it difficult for me to open my mouth and eat something. I have to like, nibble. It’s terrible. Also, I have always washed my face twice a day and now I am on a regimen so the hygiene factor was not a problem either. I am also using progesterone cream instead of birth control for any hormone imbalance. Also, I have been drinking Kombucha tea for the probiotioc benefits. I am at a loss because I am trying so much and have been so patient, but nothing much is happening. It just seems like it’s getting worse! And I’m afraid that if it ever stops being pimples, that there will be red marks everywhere and I’ll have to wear makeup all of the time, no fun. Well, any comments/suggestions/advice would be much appreciated. I’m sorry that my details were like a book. Thanks for reading, if you did!

I just got home from my first appointment at a Dermatologist …
She told me I had Seborrheic Dermatitis, she told me that I shouldn’t be worried about it, because it’s not that bad !

She gave me a prescription shampoo and cream for me to use this month !

Well I know I haven’t tried it yet, so I don’t know if it will work or not, all i need from you guys it’s some sort of advice, in whether this shampoo/cream which name is KETOCONAZOLE 2%, is a good treatment shampoo … and I would also like to know if anyone using this shampoo, if it helped any of you with your seborrhea, if it makes ur hair fall etc …

I just need a second opinion please!
im kinda worried, even thou my dermatologist told me not to !

thanks a lot !

my dermatologist gave me:

ketoconazole shampoo (for my body)
ketoconazole pills (i take twice a day)
minocycline pills (i take once a day)
Benzaclin gel (i use on my face in the morning)
Tazorac cream 0.05% (i use on my face before i go to bed)

i have been useing all of that for 3 days now while i have not seen any results yet ( which i expected ) how long you think it will take for me to have clear skin?
