Guest guest Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 NO!!! Do not increase the antifungal. And rotating every two months is way too fast. You need to stay on 1 antifungal until it stops working and then switch. Personally, I think your dosages of the antifungals are rather high, anyway. But rotating that fast is going to cause resistance.Watch the rash, if it isn't gone within a week, then call your doc. Cheryl ~http://www.gryffins-tail.blogspot.com~~@Gryffins_Tail~ We just completed week three of Valtrex with steady gains no regression and yeast in control. Yesterday a rash appeared on the insides of both elbows. It resembles a red blotch similar to eczema. It does not itch and is not painful. We also have dry chapped lips and cold symptoms (stuffed nose and congestion). Today he is very stimmy (lots of bouncing and verbal noises). With all the research I have done, this could be a healing regression or a yeast flare up. How do I tell the difference? Do most of you treat the rash (cream) or just leave it alone? We are currently on 250 mg of Ketoconazole to keep yeast at bay and we rotate with 200 mg of Diflucan every one to two months. Should I increase the anti-fungal? Thanks for any and all suggestions!

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 It's very typical to get a rash while on valtrex and the rash indicates it works. If it's itchy you can give an oatmeal bath or use hydrocortisone cream. Your antifungal dose is already very high. Keep going.
