SplitInfinitive Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I have little sticky patches between my fingers, probably a type of tinea. Regular use of clotrimazole clears it up and I only wash my hands in the shower, use a alcohol based hand sterilizer other times. But it still comes back. Any permanant solution?

h90 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 On fungus you must continue with the anti fungus cream for a long time after it is cleared up. Else it comes back. I would have doubts if the alcohol based hand sterilizer is a good idea. Because it may removes the protective layer on top of your skin and dries out the skin. For me it seems washing that part with these fluids made for the private parts of females. They contain lactic acid and must fungus don't like sour....

h90 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Have you seen an MD or are you just relying on a public forum? For some fungus you hardly need a doctor.

bkknow Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 To treat tinea pedis it's best to do a swab and have it cultured so you exactly know which kind of yeast it is for optimal treatment. Until then it's best to keep your feet as dry as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FBN Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 The usual cause for return of fungal infections are inadequate treatment; topical treatment with antifungal creams should continue for at least 4-6 weeks even if it seems cleared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SplitInfinitive Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Thanks, the contining to use the ointment for a considerable period after the fungus appears to clean up seems to be the best advice. It acvtually says that on the label but who reads instructions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
