instruction: hello doctor I had ringworm problem for the past three to four months I used absorb clotrimazole powder and betnovate go cream it did not stop but increased spreading to other areas then I went to a doctor and he diagnosed it as tina incognito he prescribed terbinafine 250 levocetirizine dihydrochloride daily at night after dinner upcan 150 twice a week in the evening ketoconazole cream and veto plus soap after two weeks there was very less improvement and he added itraconazole twice a day along with same cream and soap it has been a week and improvement is very slow and at times it itches very much in between two days I missed itraconazole during the morning can it cause itching
output: hi if you are having ringworm infection then you are going on right track you have applied betnovate cream betamethasone which is a topical steroid it usually suppresses or hides your lesion that is why it gets converted into tina incognito fungal infection masked due to application of a topical steroid now you are using two oral antifungal simultaneously one terbinafine 250 my which usually requires three weeks and itraconazole 100 my once daily for 28 days or twice daily for at least two weeks use certain general measures for fastest recovery like use of topical steroids betnovate skin scraping for oh potassium hydroxide follow up till lesions completely regress to a dermatologist online
