I have a white creamy itchy discharge with no odor, can it be an infection? If so, can my boyfriend also take Anaerobyl 400 tablets in case he may also have some infection? ## Hello, Norma! How are you? Going by your description, you should have this checked out by a doctor, because it sounds like you may have a yeast infection, and if that is the case you need an antifungal medication to treat it, an antibiotic such as anaroebyl may make it worse. The NIH lists the typical side effects of such antifungal medications as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and stomach pain. Have you taken any medications recently?

I think I have molluscum. Long story short it first came out on my penis. I thought nothing of it but it's been months and I popped a little bump on my penis and more came out. It spread I would say, and then months passed by. I found out the chick I had sex with had a skin condition and I had unprotected sex and I thought ok I'm good because at first nothing and then it's been months and now I can see. I did some research and it seems to be Molluscum. I haven't went to the doctors and got checked for anything and I know molluscum is treatable and can go away by itself but I'd rather not wait, and since my mom barely gets anytime off work I already told her to take me to the doctors and she'll see when. So I'd rather not wait without trying anything. So I did...

I got a ringworm on my chest from a child that had one on its head. I used tincain foot cream and it cleared up, but I stopped using it now and I see little ones coming back. I was told to take an antibiotic, does this help or hurt? ## No, an antibiotic will not treat ringworm. It is caused by a fungus, so it requires an antifungal to eradicate it, according to the NIH. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and stomach pain. Is there anything else I can help with?

My springer has what appears to be ringworm on her stomach and have been treating it with antifungal cream clotrimazole usp 1% seems to be working but getting outbreaks now up in the hair on her legs. Will Cefalexina help this? she is seven months old and weights about 30 pounds ## Hello, Al! How is she doing? No, Cephalexin is an antibiotic that only treats bacterial infections, but ringworm is a fungal infection, so it will have no effect on it. Have you consulted your veterinarian? You need to be certain what this is, in order to treat it properly. ## Coconut oil is an anti-bacterial and much more, it pulls the infection out from the infected area. I have had a recurring boil for several years and no Rx worked. When I found out about coconut oil I tried it. When I start to get the bo...

Hello I'm using canex v cream I just used it for a day already I'm seeing blood is it normal?, and my vagina itches every night inside and outside. I even shaved thinking it would be better but thre's no change. What can I use to stop this itchiness? ## Hello, Tsholo! How are you? The itching you're describing could be due to a yeast infection and, if that's what you have, this cream may help. The blood can be a normal side effect, as reported by the FDA, you may also experience discharge, redness and irritation. But, it will take a few days to help resolve the problem, it will not work overnight. Have you had this checked out by a doctor? ## My anus is extremely itchy at all times after using Canex V for three nights. Is this normal and how do I deal with this?

To clear up acne, you need to discover the cause, as listed by the NIH, it could hormonal, it could be caused by a soap you've used; other face creams; or bacteria. If it is caused by bacteria, you'll need an antibiotic to treat it. The FDA lists their typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash an diarrhea. Are you on any medications? What is your normal diet like?

Are there any corn derivatives in termbinafine? My husband has been prescribed this medication for a toenail fungus and is allergic to corn. Thanks. ## What are the markings on it?

Unless you are a rich spoiled brat or some rich widow Jublia will cost you approx 700-1000 dollars per month. Most insurance will not cover it. And at that cost it is only 18% effective. Give me a break or let me win the lottery. ## Just an FYI. My podiatrist who was treating my big toenails originally told me Jublia would cost about $1000 per bottle. However, recently he told me things had changed. He gave me a discount card called "Access Program 2016" from "Valeant Dermatology". I was able to get Jublia for $0 co-pay at Walgreens + multiple refills. Ask about it. HUGE SAVINGS - from $1000 to $0. Wow! Also, I really think Jublia is working. After multiple laser treatments fungus was still lingering. Now with Jublia it's finally disappearing!!!

The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including redness, irritation, discharge and spotting. What has the doctor recommended?

I'm experiencing itching in the vaginal area and spores are spreading. I'm continuously itching throughout the night. Also when I'm passing urine at that time I experience irritation. What kind of anti-fungal cream can I use for this? I am in my 1st trimester of pregnancy. ## Hello, Revathi! How are you? Congratulations on the baby! From the symptoms you've described, you may have both a vaginal yeast infection and a urinary tract infection, and each requires different treatments. You need an antifungal for a yeast infection and an antibiotic for a urinary tract infection, as explained by the NIH. That said, you need to see a doctor to discover exactly what you have going on, then have them prescribe the safest medications to use, during pregnancy. It would be remiss of ...

Does this cream contain alcohol? I would like to know if this cream contains alcohol. ## Hi Maria, In order to determine the list of inactive ingredients one would need to know who the manufacturer is or at least have a product on hand to check the label. Generic Betametasona + Clotrimazol + Gentamicina cream may contain any set of fillers if there's no way to identify who makes it or what the actual packaging has on it. However I do see that one company by the name of Glenmark Pharmaceuticals does use a combination of "benzyl alcohol + cetyl alcohol + stearyl alcohol" in their particular Clotrimazole + Betamethasone dipropionate cream [minus the Gentamicina]. So I think it would be normal to assume that they use alcohol in similar products, but you should probably contact t...

i got fungal infection iam taking TABLET ABOVE how many days will take to cure my skin from fungal infection ## In general, most antibiotics are taken consistently for roughly 7-10 days before the infection is completely gone. But that is usually for non-fungal infections. Are you certain that your skin infection is fungus related? I only ask because, Tyza (Terbinafine) tablets are indicated for the treatment of onychomycosis of the toenail or fingernail due to dermatophytes (tinea unguium). As such, I have not found any specific details regarding its use for skin related infections. The dosing guidelines for this are listed below and do not mention anything about skin fungal infections: "Fingernail onychomycosis: One 250 mg tablet once daily for 6 weeks. Toenail onychomycosis: One ...

Can itraconazole be used for the treatment of scabies? Any studies done? If yes, how is it used in scabies? Thanks ## Hello, Neuronal! How are you? No, this is an antifungal medication, so it will not do anything to treat scabies, which is a type of skin mite that is very similar to lice. It requires a specific medication that can dry out the top layer of skin and kill the mites. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as skin irritation, redness, rash and peeling skin. Have you consulted your doctor?
