What Causes Skin Darkening While Using Candiderm For Itchy Skin?
Hello.. 5 days ago my right leg started itching.. I used candiderm cream without consulting a doctor.. Because few years back the same happen to my left legs.. Still I haven t gotten any relief.. And my skin in darkening.. Like bloods inside the skin.. And one more thing few years back I had this infection on my back.. Some type of browns patches.. Jus like the way some described tinea Versicolar.. But they itched a lot.. He gave me candiderm.. Whenever I applied they disappears.. But reoccurs.. And when I was pregnant they spread to whole my body.. My whole body itched.. But they are not that visible now.. When I showed to my sister she said she don t see anything .. But I know they are there because of the itching.. Now also they appears.. When they starts getting darker I apply candiderm. But no permanent releif.. M afraid to go to doc because if my sister can t see them what am I going to show to the doctor?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if this the itching symptoms and not due to fungal infection then it must not be treated with antifungal agent but better to treat this with steroid lime "Beclomethasone cream" and it can be used now also, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
