Hello Doctor,
I am a 23-year-old female.
Since August, I have been having a skin problem that started as itching on my inner thighs. After itching, circular ring-like patches appeared. First it was on my left inner thigh, then on my right inner thigh, then under my right breast. Today, a new small ring-like patch has appeared under my left breast.
Initially the patches were itchy, but now the itching has mostly stopped. The older patches have become dark brown/black and sometimes the skin peels. Clothes touching the patches cause a stinging or burning sensation.
I first used Lebrostone cream, which stopped the itching but caused burning for about an hour after application.
I consulted a dermatologist on Practo, and she diagnosed me with Tinea corporis (ringworm). She prescribed:
- Itraconazole 200 mg (1 capsule at night for 2 months)
- Levocetirizine 5 mg (morning and night for 3 weeks)
- Luliz Lotion (Luliconazole 1%) twice daily for 2 months.
I have started Itraconazole and Le
