I have fungal infection on my hip since one year . I live in a tropical country so it’s difficult to keep it dry. I have tried medicines but the fungus is never completely treated. some days it seems like it’s cured, but still comes back (it’s not very severe though)

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.

I got a pedicure and discovered a fungus. I lost th big toenail..Trying to treat it with over the couner aids..

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?

I bought some stuff called Lifeguard All-in-one treatment…it is actually for fish but the pet store employee said it should work for my frog too. Was it a bad purchase? Should I get something different for my other frog (who appears to have a fungus too)?

I have a holland lop who is 4 years old. Her apetite has always been great, but she has had an excessive urination problem for 2 months now and she has had no fur around her butt, hind legs, and tail. So, I took her to see a vet who prescribed me an antibiotic called "sulfadimet 50mg"for 10 days. I gave it to her and I thought she was getting better, so I stupidly stopped it after the 4th day, and sure enough, the symptoms came back again. So, the vet prescribed me a different kind of antibiotic called "enrofox 27.2mg" because he had mentioned that she was already immune to the other antibiotic. I have her this one, but nothing changed. Her symptoms were still the same. She took a urine test and a blood test, both of which were very positive results. So, the vet assumed she had some fungus growing on her skin and prescribed me a medicine called "ketoconazole 200 mg" and an ointment for her skin called "conofite". I was starting to get worried and went to a vet that my friend had recommended me to, and they mentioned to me that we have to get to the "core" of the problem. We took xrays and found out that she had a spinal problem that was causing her to lose muscle, and had ulcers on her hind legs. The vet mentioned that because of this, she could be urinating on herself causing her skin to worsen. (I usually only use a shee-shee sheet in her cage. My rabbit used to use the potty bin, but ever since this problem she won’t use the potty in there anymore.) The vet figured that the skin problem arises from her sitting on the sheet (the sheet gets so soaked up with urine). So, the vet told me to continue with the antibiotics that the other vet recommended - enrofax. She also prescribed me an anti-inflammatory for her bones which will help her build muscle - luckily, she didn’t have arthiritis.
I am getting very scared and am wondering if I should stick to the vet that I changed to.
It’s been 4 days since I started the antibiotic - enrofox, but I haven’t seen much change. Should I be patient and wait until the effects start kicking in? Or, will it ever kick in? Does it take this long for an antibiotic to work?
I also recently got a dog about 5 months ago and am not sure if this affected the way my rabbit reacted. The vet recommended that I put soft cushioing in her cage for now so that the ulcers on her soles won’t hurt as much. It’s exactly what I did. I’m just very worried and can’t really focus on my work. Does anybody who may have experienced something like this have any advice? I would certainly appreciate it.

This started in January. We took in our fawn color Pug because she had a small round black spot on top of her paw and a semi-circular black spot on her hind leg - she also had a red crusty splotch on the inside of the same hind leg about the size of a half dollar. Vet took hairs for ringworm test and said to bathe her in Malaseb Shampoo twice a week and use Clotrimazole 1%. Didn’t help and Vet couldn’t say for sure it was or wasn’t ringworm - sample didn’t turn but grew fungus? Vet gave us Clavamox 62.5 mg twice a day plus continue with the other stuff. Still hasn’t cleared up - Vet is now prescribing Ketoconazole 200 mg Tabs 1/2 tab a day and Miconazole NIT cream 2% instead of the Clotrimazole 1% cream. But we still bathe her and give her the rest of the Clavamox pills until they’re gone. Does it sound like ringworm? or something else? How long will it take ringworm to clear up? It hasn’t gotten any better or worse. It’s still the same as it was when we started.
FUZZY-WUZZY WUZA NEWF - I’m sorry, but what can I ask? They told me they thought it was ringworm and pulled some hairs. I called them three times while waiting on the diagnoses and all they could say was it never turned but developed fungus. They put her on some other treatment and still said they thought it was ringworm and to try this new course of treatment. I called again and they still say they think it’s ringworm and to try this new course of treatment and then bring her back in after 4 weeks. What else should I ask the vet? I keep calling and they keep telling me they think it’s ringworm but it never turned.

Thank you for the info on that new pill - I’ll wait on that and just do the 4x a day anti-fungal cream with the 3x a week bath. I didn’t know all the side effects that pill had. Thank you for alerting me - I looked it up on-line. Thank you for the suggestion … I am going to wait on the pill and do the 4x a day anti-fungal with the 3x a week bath. Hopefully, it will clear up.
CAT S and shauna - Thank you … I had no idea ringworm took so long to clear up. I guess I thought it should be gone by now. I’ve been watching our little male Pug and so far, he’s ok … but he has been getting the same bath she does. He gets his bath just before she gets hers. The vet made that suggestion since they’re always together.

I’m looking for something to kill yeast overgrowth permanently. I eat very clean, and avoid foods that are triggers. I’ve tried probiotics, and as long as I take them everyday I’m fine, but they don’t actually kill the fungus just keep it in control.

A little under a week ago, I started getting red painless red spots on the tip of my penis. I only received oral sex for the first time a little under a year ago. I have not had vaginal intercourse. I went to urgent care and he said it did not look like an STD and it probably wasn’t. He said it was a yest infection because I washed my penis to much and it washed away all the good fungus or something like that. I am uncircumcised. Then he prescribed me Ketoconazole. I got tested for STD’s that day, just to be on the safe side, for my future reference. The spots are starting to go away…So what does this sound like? Im just curious, until the test results.

I read in a book about natural cures that there is a cure for candida however i no longer have acess to that book and i can’t find a website that doesn’t want to sell me something.
candida is a fungus and antibiotics actually cause it to be worse
