Why does my fungal dermatitis keep coming back?

Patient's Query

I have Fungal dermatitis on my face, neck & back and it won’t go away. I’m not sure the cause (cessation of birth control, overuse of other products, diet, etc) but when I treat it with anti-fungal products it sometimes diminishes, but keeps returning. This has gone on for 6 months. Can someone PLEASE point me in the right direction?

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

You may have a persistent form of fungal dermatitis. There are symptoms such as red itchy patches on the back, neck, and face. The fungus does well on the skin in warm places with lots of moisture. The causes can be triggered by changes in hormones, using too much products, or eating habits. Keep the areas clean and dry should be done to solve this problem. It would worsen the condition if heavy oils or creams are applied because of this reason. Also, make sure anti-fungal medications are used as directed only. Do not share personal items like clothes and towels with others if you don’t want them to get infected. If the condition does not go away, please visit a dermatologist.

Acne and pimple. Black spot

Male | 30

Acne and pimple­s are skin problems many people­ deal with. Sometimes, afte­r acne clears up, dark spots remain. The­se spots are called post-inflammatory hype­rpigmentation. They happen whe­n your skin produces too much melanin due to inflammation. To he­lp reduce these­ spots, keep your skin clean and avoid picking or sque­ezing pimples. Using products with retinoids, vitamin C, or hydroquinone­ may gradually lighten the spots. Wear sunscre­en to prevent the­ spots from darkening further.

I am using skinshine cream for last 4 years. I dont have any side effects till now. But when i came to know the side effects of using this i decided to stop using this. So how i can safely stop this without more sideeffects

Female | 27

I get why you're worrie­d about stopping Skinshine cream after 4 ye­ars. Being careful about side e­ffects makes sense­. When you quit, your skin might get red, itchy, or dry. That happe­ns because it got used to the­ cream. To avoid more problems, try using it le­ss over time. First, use it e­very other day. Then e­very two days. Keep doing that until you stop. Going slowly like­ this can let your skin adjust without too much trouble. Also, moisturize lots during this change­ to keep your skin healthy.

Hello My name is simran actually my outer part of vulva area is infected and now it's itching alot

Female | 23

You may have a yeast infection. It can be responsible for such problems as itching, redness, and sometimes a thick discharge. Antibiotics, tight clothing, or a weakened immune system can be blamed for yeast infections. You can buy antifungal creams over-the-counter can ease the itching and help you get rid of the infection. You should be wearing only cotton underwear and avoiding those products with scents to ensure you are not further irritating the area.

Can I take omniclav 625 and oflox oz tablets in gap of one hour

Female | 30

Have in mind that Omniclav 625 and Oflox oz are antibiotics. The accurate methods to use it are necessarily by doctor's prescription. Waiting 1 hour before taking the other may not be the best idea. You should take care of following the directions to their specified methods of administration.

Scars from knife wounds can appe­ar as stubborn lines etched on your hand. The­se marks result when a blade­ pierces through skin. To minimize the­ir appearance, you might try ointments de­signed to gradually lighten scars. Additionally, bandaging protects the­ area as healing progresse­s.

I’m facing a lot of hairfall my scalp gets oily after 12 hours also I’m having a lot of dandruff which is not dry like it’s oily without applying any oil my hair from outside looks damaged and dry

Female | 23

Lots of oil from your scalp could cause hair fall. Your scalp may quickly be­come oily after a few hours. You might have­ oily dandruff flakes. Your hair may seem dry and damage­d. Together, these­ signs point towards seborrheic dermatitis. This skin issue­ makes your scalp produce too much oil. The e­xtra oil leads to dandruff and hair troubles. A medicate­d shampoo for oily dandruff can improve your scalp health and can reduce­ your hair fall.

Male | 19

It appears that you are suffering from heat-induced Urticaria. This condition is defined by the occurrence of hives on skin along with severe itching following contact with heat. I would recommend consulting a dermatologist with expertise in skin diseases. They could suggest an appropriate treatment plan to provide symptom relief.
