Will using cortisone cream with Blue Star ointment spread ringworm?

If I have a wringworm and start putting blue star ointment on it 3 times a day but also put cortisone cream to soothe the itch will it cause the fungus to spread?

1 Answer

Answered on 7th Sept '24

Using it together on a wringworm can actually make the fungus spread. It is recommended to only use antifungal medication to treat a wringworm, and consult a dermatologist for proper treatment.

I completed ERIG+ IDRV in 2022 for cat scratch. And again taken D0 And D3 in november 2023. I had taken again the vaccine for dog scratch in D0 and D3 in May 6th and May 9 th 2024. But today my cat again scratch me and blood came.should I take the vaccine again?

Female | 21

You should be protected since you've had vaccines for both cat and dog scratches. However, if you're still concerned, it's a good idea to consult your doctor to be safe. In addition to the color and swelling, you might also notice the area around the scratch becoming warmer, which could indicate an infection.

I face chicken pox disease from last 3 days and now I feel hot after taking fever medicine

Female | 17

After taking fever medicine, it usually happens that a person feels to be hot. Chickenpox is a virus that causes the manifestation of itchiness all around the body with red spots that turn into blisters. Fever, headache, and tiredness are the most common symptoms. Always remember to drink plenty of fluids to keep your body hydrated. Calamine lotion is useful in alleviating itching. Plenty of rest is essential.

Patient has Skin Allergy on whole body.

Female | 18

When the whole body has an allergic reaction, you may notice symptoms like redness, itching, and sometimes small bumps or blisters. Common causes include foods, plants, or even the material of your clothes. Identify and avoid the trigger. Antihistamines can help calm the symptoms.

I have a 14 year old daughter who has a had a itchy raised red puffy bump on her left shoulder the last two days. It happened in the middle of her basketball game. It has gotten worse from her bra strap and shirt rubbing against it. I want to know what it is and how to fix this mystery.

Female | 14

Looks like your daughter has a skin irritation that is contact dermatitis. One common type is contact dermatitis, which is caused by something rubbing against the skin and triggering redness, itching, and swelling. This thing might be her bra strap or shirt, which is the cause of the rash on her skin when it rubs against it while she is playing basketball, To make her feel better, try to use a soothing lotion or cream and let her put on clothes that are not tight enough to prevent rubbing as much as possible.

Can I use benzoyl peroxide ointment for acne

Male | 13

Acne is a frequent skin problem that affects a person's skin by pimples and redness. Acne can be managed by using benzoyl peroxide ointment. It operates by eradicating bacteria from the skin. You might notice dryness or peeling at first, but it usually gets better with time. It is important to use only a small amount and keep away from sensitive parts.
