Brief Answer:
Itching is not drug related.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir,

I understand your query and concern.

This is not a side effect to your drugs. Its body's immune reaction to killed worm antigens.

This itching can be safely reduced by application of Anti histaminic lotions and steroidal lotions/creams like Deslor and Betamethasone.

Please note that these drugs are to be taken under strict medical prescription.

All your symptoms will completely resolve in the due course of time as you have already completed correct anti ring worm drugs.

These drugs have no effect on sperm production.

You and your wife can safely have a baby once the entire ring worm infection is completely cleared off.

I hope i have answered your query at the moment,
Post your further queries if any.
Thankyou.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
