I have redness and itching on the right side of my face and under my stomach, but Clotrimazole, Quadriderm RF, and Itch Guard are not working. What alternative medication or treatment should I use?
Since these antifungal and steroid creams are not working, please stop using them immediately. Overusing topical steroids on the face can actually worsen redness and cause rebound itching. Your symptoms might be due to contact dermatitis, eczema, or a bacterial infection rather than a fungal one. To relieve the itching safely, you can take an oral antihistamine like cetirizine or fexofenadine and apply a cool, damp compress to the affected areas. Keep the skin clean, dry, and free of harsh chemicals. Please consult a dermatologist soon for a proper examination, as you may require specific prescription treatments.
