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?

my face is not riddled with acne but i do have acne,white heads,black heads,acne scars and body acne

Its a white blotch and It is spreading. I am on a swim team and I’m always in hot and steamy water. Which obviously made this to occur. I Did not go to a dermatologist because I cannot afford it right now. But I did my research on it. But what creams and ointments can I use to get my skin back to normal and prevent future Fungus infections, Thanks(:

On my weeding day, my friend swapped earrings with me (cultural belief) and since then for 6 years already, the back of my ears don’t get healed. I’ve gone to the the dermatologist and applied ointment such as ketoconazole and betagenta, terramycin- for a while it will be ok then it comes back. I don’t know how to get over with this! It is itchy, I peel the dried liquid and it will come out again. Please help!!!

My sister participates in the dance program at her school and she has athlete’s foot on her feet, she put Lamisil on it but now she has athlete’s foot/fungal infection on her hands as well, anyone know a way on how to get rid of it without seeing a dermatologist(because of her age)?

My hands are peeling and only seem to be getting worse. I’ve tried vitamin E and Ketoconazole Cream from my family doctor. The cream did not help and the peeling is continuing. My hands are also pretty swollen and red. The doctor said my circulation is fine. Any recommendations before I go to a dermatologist?

i’ve broken out and my pores are super clogged from DHC’s Deep Cleansing Oil. So i went to see my dermatologist. he gave me Adapalene and Ketoconazole to use everyday along with some peeling treatment .He promised me it will get better within 4 weeks. it seems to get worst 3 weeks later and no sign of healing and its really expensive.some what,his medications irritate my eyes even if i didnt apply it around my eyes at all!it became red and itchy, flaky and super dry and it burns every time i wash it with mild cleaser!!so i stop seeing my derm, bought Olay total effects anti-aging anti-blemish moisturizer and cleanser and i use St.Ive’s Medicated scrub once a week. i’ve been seeing improvement, and i’m much more happier with my skin now than when i use my derms’ medication. but still i want it to go away MUCH FASTER. is there any extra advice for faster ways to heal my clogged pores with out changing my skincare routine? (such as masks, treatments etc.)

I’ve had this infection for two years. I stopped and restarted the topical medicine the doc prescribed. I know i’m not supposed to do that…
But i read everywhere that this kind of infection should be cured within 2-3 weeks, yet whenever I use the medicine consistently for a couple of months, the fungus fades and comes back but is never completely gone.
I’ve revisited the doctor for this 2-3 times over the last 2 years, when I ask why does it take so long to go away, he says that’s how these kind of infections are, they take ALONG time to go away. and he just keeps prescribing me the same topical cream.
Yet what my doctor says is contrary to what I’ve read online. Is my doc lazy and don’t care? Should I go see a dermatologist?

i have a bad skin infection. im pretty sure its a fungus infection and it spread all over my body, it started at my feet. the bottom of my feet got a bad fungal infection. i couldnt even walk it hurt so much and my heels leakes oily fluid. then it spread to my face, hands,arms,armpits,neck and shoulders.
its terrible and disgusting looking its all red like a sunburn but i havent gone outside in a long time. i have agoraphobia so i barely or never go outside and i keep window shades on all my windows with the ac turned up.
its all red and rashy and the skin is feeling and rough and stiff, it burns but dosnt itch, iot just hurts and is painfull. it also has a very bad foul odor, my face smells like the bottom of someones foot and no matter how many times i shower the odoer is still strong and comes back stronger as soon as i step out of the shower. it smells terrible and my skin pores are leaking an oily sticky fluid. its leaking from my face,armpits,scalp,neck and shoulders. i scrubbed my hair with 3 kinds of shampoos and rinsed many times and within an hour os stepping out of the shower the oily stuff came back and stared leaking ut of my scalp and armits. i cant even go out in public if i decided to because i smell terrible and no matter how many times i shower or what type of bodywash or soap i use, i still stink. i used scented ones and gentle ones like ivory

every day the smell and leaky stuff comes back and the skin is red and stiff and peeling. it smells like someones foot, its an odor you would get when smelling a sweaty persons old sneaker

what can i do? i am going to see a dermatologist. i missed my apointment. but when i go what if it is a fungal infection, what treatments are available. i want to know my treatment options

is there a CERTAIN shampoo to use for fungus, i heard selson blue works but i didnt use it yet. what other types of treatments are there aqnd are they dangerous. i heard some antifungal treatments cause cancer or are dangerous, ios this true?
i dont like blood tests so i dont want to take one
are there any homeopathic natural cure

I have tinea versicolor and have used the Ketoconazole cream to try to get rid of it, but it didn’t help. I want to try the 200 mg pills, but I don’t want to pay for the visit to the dermatologist which would be about , plus the price of the prescription. Since I already know what I need, I’d rather just order the pill if that is at all possible. I called the dermatologist to see if they could just write me a prescription for the pill since I had been in already for the tinea versicolor and they said that it had been to long and that I would have to come in again. If anybody knows any way for me to get around this, any information would be beneficial. Thank you for your time!
