The main reason it has not cleared is that Clobetamil G contains a powerful steroid (clobetasol) and an antibiotic, but ringworm is actually a fungal infection. Applying steroids to a fungal infection suppresses your skin's natural immunity, which allows the fungus to thrive and survive much longer. Meanwhile, Allegra (fexofenadine) only helps manage itching, not the infection itself. Using a strong steroid for eight months can also lead to skin thinning. Please stop using Clobetamil G and consult a healthcare provider to get a proper antifungal treatment to safely clear this up.

His severe leg itching could be caused by dry skin (xerosis), which is common in diabetes and can be worsened by infrequent bathing. Since Allegra is not providing relief, the itching may also stem from diabetic neuropathy (nerve irritation) or poor circulation in his lower legs. I gently recommend keeping his legs clean and applying a thick, fragrance-free moisturizing cream daily. Please consult his doctor to examine his legs and check his blood sugar levels to rule out any underlying infections or nerve issues, ensuring he stays comfortable.

A cold lasting more than a week, with fever and headache, may suggest a persistent viral infection or a sinus-related problem. Rest, warm fluids, and steam inhalation may help relieve congestion and discomfort. Since your symptoms are worsening, the test results may need medical review. Consult a doctor with your CBC report for proper evaluation and suitable treatment.

It is very common to feel tired while your body fights an infection, and fatigue can also be a side effect of allergy medications like fexofenadine (Allegra 180) or levocetirizine (Levosiz). While fexofenadine is generally non-drowsy, individual responses vary. Please note that Allegra 180 is an adult dose and is not safe for a young child. I gently encourage you to consult your healthcare provider to discuss these symptoms, verify the correct dosages.

Yes, circumcision is widely considered the most definitive and highly effective treatment for chronic balanoposthitis. By removing the foreskin, it eliminates the warm, moist environment where inflammation and infections thrive, resolving symptoms in the vast majority of cases. Before proceeding, I highly recommend consulting a urologist to ensure there are no underlying conditions, like diabetes, contributing to the inflammation. This is a very common, routine procedure that offers excellent relief and can greatly improve your comfort and quality of life.

Loratadine and Allegra (fexofenadine) are antihistamines used for allergies, so they won't help lower a fever. While these allergy medications are generally very safe, minor side effects can include mild drowsiness, a dry mouth, or a headache. Serious side effects, though very rare, include severe dizziness, a rapid heartbeat, or an allergic rash. Please rest well, stay hydrated, and feel free to reach out to a healthcare provider if your fever persists.
