Hey Amelia,

What exactly is the prescription?

What kind of anti fungal? it's mixed with the corti-cream?

doctor. Who prescribed the above (like I thought he would). It says plainly on

the box and in the instructions not to use it on the face. My husband said he

asked that question of the doctor who said that it was fine. The box also says

not to use for more than a week, but the doctor's instructions are for 2-3

weeks.

Did he see a GP or a Dermatologist? I went to a GP for a reaction I had on my

face and was given a cream prescription. When I went to a dermatologist a few

days later (it was a severe reactions so we wanted to find the source) the

dermatologist told me to throw out the cream right away, that it would put

stretch marks on my face! I see a Dermatologist for ALL skin issues now.

Stacey,Wish we could easily do that here. We are Americans living in the UK -- you see a GP for everything and then if it doesn't resolve they will maybe send you to a specialist. You even have to have a letter of introduction to see a doctor privately (off the NHS)!It seems to be helping, but I am worried about it being so close to the eye ball and what the effects might be if absorbed too near it. What did the dermatologist do for your skin reaction?AmeliaTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Sat, February 27, 2010 4:42:44 PMSubject: Re: Anti-fungal cortisone cream

Amelia-

Sorry to hear that.

My doc prescribed an azole + hydrocortisone for the fungal stuff on my foreskin.

Not sure if it worked even after the prescribed 1 month. He wants me to take

Diflucan to control that.

Is there a way you could control with natural antifungals? And why suddently --

a flare or die-off of some sort?

Stacey's suggestion seems to be a good one, though.

Andy,He was using tea tree oil lotion and coconut oil, but they weren't totally clearing it. We think that it was starting about the same time he started taking s. boulardii, but we are not sure that had any effect. It didn't clear when he stopped the s. boulardii (which was over 3 weeks ago), and the skin would get better then worse. I bought some oil of oregano (stuff is strong! makes the cupboard smell and I haven't even opened it yet!) and grapefruit seed extract, but he decided to go the doctor route because he felt like he had tried natural stuff long enough and wanted it cleared. The cream is bringing down the inflammation (thanks to the hydrocortisone), but it is really flaking the skin something horrible. I can say that it makes the skin around his eyes

look really aged and wrinkled. I probably could have effected the same help with overthecounter athlete's foot cream and ibuprofin cream! ; ) When I told Sanjay Stacey's suggestion about the dermatologist, the first thing he said was "She's in the States isn't she?" Anyway, he is happy trying this and is willing to take the consequences even if they are less than desireable if it makes the problem go away.Like you, I think he needs to go through a round of systemic anti-fungal as well. I have read of several people doing rotations of natural and pharmacutical therapies. I think they start the most gentile and go stronger. So maybe a rotation of grapefruit seed extract for a bit, then oil of oregano, then Nystatin and Diflucan. It also looks like there is a slight (like 4 days) break between most of the remedies to give the spores a chance to 'hatch' so they can be killed. I

have made an appointment to get my thyroid, adrenals, etc. checked out by an integrative medicine type doctor in Mid March. I can't wait! I hope to have time to discuss some of Sanjay's issues with him to see if he could help him as well as our middle son (who suffers from slight occasional eczema skin patches on his body).AmeliaTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Sat, February 27, 2010 11:46:47 PMSubject: Re: Anti-fungal cortisone cream

I am indeed in the States at the moment, but having been with an HMO when I was

first diagnosed, I can sympathize with you! I'm not sure that what the

dermatologist did for me will help you because he really just put me on a

different cream. The reaction that I was having was a severe allergic reaction

around my eyes. When I woke up the first morning I experienced my symptoms, I

couldn't open my eyes up all the way because they were swollen. Then they

developed a horrible redness all around them. I looked like I was a superhero

going out every night to fight crime but happened to be allergic to my

mask...or...a raccoon. It just took a lot of time for my face to go back to

normal. I think I had a period of it drying out/flaking as it was healing. I

had a patch test (several years later because I had to get off pred first) to

find out what would have caused the reaction.

Stacey,That sounds like about what his face is doing. His eyes are not so swollen so that he can 't open his eyes, but they are definitely swollen and angry looking. He looks like he has two black eyes, and the skin is flaking as well. Let me know if you remember what the cream was that the doctor prescribed.AmeliaTo:

Amelia,

I *think* what he gave me was Locoid Lipocraeam (hydrocortisone butyrate 0.1

%) Cream. It turned out I was (am) allergic to fragrance and parabin (both of

which are in EVERYTHING). And apparently if a company doesn't use a fragrance

AS a fragrance, but instead as something to mask a scent, they don't have to

list it as fragrance? No wonder I had skin issues!

Stacey,Thanks for looking it up and trying to remember! The cream that he is using is doing a good job for now. So far no ill effects, and I'll bet he will stop using it as soon as it is resolved--especially if it is sooner than the 2 - 3 weeks the doctor recommended.AmeliaTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Mon, March 1, 2010 5:02:15 PMSubject: Re: Anti-fungal cortisone cream
