Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am using Ketoconazole currently for tinea on my right foot. it has created a lot of scaling, almost to the point of drying out skin. Is this normal? I also seemed to have a circle of my right palm so have been applying the cream there also, should I continue?
Hi You can continue with ketoconazole cream but if it doesn't improve in a 1-2 weeks go for oral antifungals like tablet terbinafine 250 mg once daily for 4 weeks. Regards
