Suggest Treatment For Itching And Tingling Sensations In The Genitals
Question: I had chronic fungal infection on thighs and genitals and got treated.
Even after treatment I still had tingling and itch everyday. I also have this tingling/crawling which makes me itch on my nose,on eyelids towards nose.
I started applying Fucidin Cream on genitals, thighs, nose and eyelids. It seems to be working. The itch, tingling feel reduced.
I had this feel since last 6 months but I started using fucidin only last week.
I want to quickly recover from this.
Currently I'm applying fucidin twice in a day. Is this okay..?
Is there any antibiotics to support fucidin cream.?
Can I apply candid and fucidin together.?
I also get small pimples like on scalp and eventually form scabs and fall off.. What is the treatment for this?

Brief Answer:
Candid should help in both cases
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. However, I do not think that the treatment is on correct lines. Fucidin is an antibiotic and not an antifungal. Instead of fucidin I would insist you to apply candid (clotrimazole) cream or lotion topically. You can apply fucidin along with candid although I doubt if that would be needed. No other antibiotics need to be given as 'support' for fucidin cream.
About the scabs on the scalp, I would insist you to apply candid lotion topically and see if that helps.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards

My doubt is along with fungal infection I got bacterial infection too.
It looks like Only after using fucidin, crawling tingling and itching reduced.

Brief Answer:
Superadded bacterial infections are often associated
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. Often such fungal infections can be associated with superadded bacterial infections and that was the reason I suggested you that you could still continue fucidin if you want. However, it would be a good idea to visit a dermatologist and get the situation reviewed.
