Brief Answer:
Please upload images.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

I understand your concern.

This could possibly be a fungal infection, considering the duration and resistance to Fourderm and Quadriderm.

The need for systemic oral antibiotic therapy is high in your case.
I can suggest you the same if you upload the images of the rash/itch area on the right buttock.This can help me visualise the status of the skin.

Based on the reports, I can formulate therapeutic protocol.

Post your further queries if any.

Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Possible fungal infection.Require Dual therapy.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

I understand your concern.

I have gone through uploaded images.

They possibly reflect moderately severe fungal infection.

For this, you need both topical and systemic therapy.

I generally prescribe my patients oral tablets of Terbinafine for 14 days and topical cream of Lotriderm to be applied twice a day for 2 weeks.Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe them to you.

This treatment will be quite effective in treating your skin issues.

Post your further queries if any,
Thank you.

Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
