Does Eberfine cream have steroids in it, and is it actually good for treating ringworm?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Eberfine cream contains Eberconazole (1% ww) and Mometasone (0.1% ww), which means it does contain a steroid, specifically Mometasone, a moderate-strength topical corticosteroid.
As for its effectiveness in treating ringworm, the combination of Eberconazole (an antifungal) and Mometasone (a steroid) can help alleviate symptoms such as itching, redness, and inflammation, while also treating the underlying fungal infection.

View allMy husband has been struggling with a recurring fungal infection, and despite trying different medications, it keeps coming back. Can you recommend a medicine that can completely get rid of it?
I recommend trying Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) at a dosage of 150mg once a week for 4-6 weeks. Additionally, applying Clotrimazole cream (brand name Lotrimin) twice daily to the affected area can help in faster resolution of the infection. Remember to consult a doctor before starting any new medication.

I'm dealing with this really itchy waist and groin area, and it's been going on for like 18 months now. I'm pretty sure my hygiene's top-notch, so I'm wondering if maybe I caught this from using public toilets? I've been to a few doctors alreadyone thought it was mites, another said it was a fungal thing, and the last suggested it might be bacterial. But none of their treatments have worked, and I'm still stuck with this problem. Do you have any idea what else this could be or what I should do next?
Probable diagnosis is fungal infection.

I've had this lump next to my nipple for what feels like forever, and I'm not really sure how long it's been there. It's kinda weird because the lump seems to get taller when my nipple gets hard, and when it's soft, the lump flattens out. It's not painful, doesn't move around, and it's pretty soft. I'm a bit worried. Why is this happening? Is it something I should be concerned about?
do one ultrasonography
