Having suffered from cold sores, severe, for years, I have tried Azyclovir for an entire year of therapy to kick the virus back. They came back after the year with a vengence, sometimes 3 a month. I read about the thought that this virus is acutally a fungus, but was not willing to try the oral med x 9 months because of the damage to the liver. So I tried the tropical Clotrimazaole 1% for athletes foot. Bottom line is its too early, but I am now on day 15 with no outbreak with a daily topical application around my mouth. And then I found this : http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/4438129/description.html I think and hope this may be something that will work.
Clotrimazole is used to treat various skin conditions. It comes as a cream, lotion, or powder that is applied to the affected area. It is used to treat yeast infections, athletes foot and ringworm.
Clotrimazole is an anti fungal drug and can be used to treat fungal infections of skin. But every fungal infection may not respond to it.
No, they can happen on any skin.
Clotrimazole and betamethasone dipropionate cream is a topical medication that combines an antifungal agent (clotrimazole) with a corticosteroid (betamethasone dipropionate). Clotrimazole is effective against fungal infections, while betamethasone helps reduce inflammation and alleviate itching and redness. This combination is often used to treat skin conditions caused by fungal infections, such as ringworm, that are accompanied by inflammation. It is typically applied to the affected area as directed by a healthcare provider.
Cold sores are caused by a virus infection, and are located around the mouth, on the line between the lip and the face skin.
NO you shouldn't use that, specially if the cold sore is on or around the mouth. It's supposed to help sooth rashes and some skin conditions. They say not to apply it around the eyes, nose or mouth. Just get your self some cold sore cream from the pharmacy.
Using out-of-date clotrimazole cream is not recommended, as the efficacy of the medication may diminish over time, making it less effective against fungal infections. Additionally, expired products can sometimes lead to skin irritation or other adverse reactions. It's best to consult a healthcare professional for guidance and obtain a fresh supply if needed.
Clotrimazole cream is an antifungal medication primarily used to treat various fungal skin infections, such as athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm. It works by inhibiting the growth of fungi. Additionally, it can be used to treat yeast infections, including those caused by Candida species. The cream is typically applied directly to the affected area as directed by a healthcare professional.
Cold sores are spread by skin-to-skin contact with an infected person, at the location where the virus is active, during a time when they are shedding virus. If a girl has a cold sore, and you kiss her genital area (where no sore is) but not her mouth (where the sore is), you are not likely to get infected.
Schederma cream is primarily used for treating skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, rather than ringworm, which is a fungal infection. For ringworm, antifungal treatments are typically recommended, such as clotrimazole or terbinafine. It’s important to consult a healthcare professional for the appropriate treatment for any skin condition.
Clotrimazole is used to treat yeast infections of the vagina, mouth, and skin such as athlete's foot, jock itch, and body ringworm. It can also be used to prevent oral thrush in certain patients.PREGNANCY: Clotrimazole is very poorly absorbed into the blood and the body after application to the skin or the vagina. Studies in women in their second or third trimesters of pregnancy have demonstrated no ill effects. No human data is available in pregnant women during their first trimester. Rats given large amounts of clotrimazole intravaginally have demonstrated no ill effects. NURSING MOTHERS: It is not known if clotrimazole is secreted in breast milk. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a682753.htmlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clotrimazolehttp://www.medicinenet.com/clotrimazole/article.htm
Impetigo causes weeping sores, its the 'weeping' that is contagious. Be it via skin to skin contact, a towel or virtually anything. When the sores are fully scabbed they are not contagious, its only the liquid inside the sores that is contagious.
