I'm trying to find an anti-fungal cream that isn't steroid-based. Do you have any suggestions? Also, how long does it usually take for the marks to fade completely?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Here are some non-steroidal anti-fungal cream suggestions:
Clotrimazole-based creams
- Candid cream: Effective against fungal infections, available over-the-counter (OTC).
- Canesten cream: Contains clotrimazole, used to treat fungal skin infections.
Terbinafine-based creams
- Lamisil cream: Treats fungal infections, available OTC.
- Terbinex cream: Contains terbinafine, used to treat fungal skin infections.
Duration for Fading Away Marks
The time it takes for marks to fade away depends on:
- Severity of the infection: More severe infections may take longer to clear up.
- Effectiveness of the treatment: Using the right anti-fungal cream and following the treatment regimen can impact the duration.
- Individual skin type and healing: Skin type, age, and overall health can influence the healing process.
Typically, with consistent treatment, you can expect:
- Mild infections: 1-2 weeks for marks to fade away
- Moderate infections: 2-4 weeks for marks to fade away
- Severe infections: 4-6 weeks or more for marks to fade away

Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with a fungal infection for about 1.5 years now, and it's all over my stomach and going downwards. I've tried a bunch of medicines like fluconazole and creams like O2derm, but nothing seems to be working. I'm really looking for some advice on how to finally get rid of this. What should I do?

I'm really worried about my wife. She's had a couple of UTIs in the last three months, and out of nowhere, her acne has gone from moderate to really severe. On top of that, she's dealing with arthritis. Her menstrual cycle is about 32 days, but her periods only last for 2 or 3 days. Any idea what could be going on, and could you suggest any treatments?
That could be due to antibiotic therapy or previous infection,visit Physician for appropriate management
