This timee my child also has vomiting tendency, loss of appetite also with rashes . He prescribed ofloxacin o2 oinment and zocon 150 twice/week for 3 weeks.

This time doc XXXXXXX Dutta show. He prescribed Averzine and Albandazole. But rashes started increasing on jelly chest back face.
So Doc Biswabondhu XXXXXXX again shown today.. He gave Averzine, Histafree120 Omnacotril 5 and azithral 250. I have not yet gave him Histafree 120 . Gave Omnacotril 5. Omnacotril to be given 2 times more today, then 2 times tomorrow and then 2 times next day.

Brief Answer:
Treatment is proper

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for using the Ask a Doctor service.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. I have checked the attached images. It seems that the diagnosis of tinea corporis is correct. It is due to a fungal cause but usually has an allergic component as well. The treatment is on correct lines and you need to be patient. I do not think omnacortil or ofloxacin o2 ointment is needed. You also need to apply some emollient like calamine lotion or some moisturizer like aloe vera lotion over those areas.

For a child of 7 years Histafree 120 is ok and you need not worry.

It might take a few days to recover and so you need to be patient.

Let me know if I could help further.
