Can Nystatin and Triamcinolone Acetonide Ointment be used to treat acne?

After over 15 yrs of suffering from Rosacea, which has only progressed, I've tried so many different topical creams, gels and oral antibiotics prescribed by my specialist... none solved the problem. I read an article online from a man who professed to have cured his Rosacea with the nystatin/triamcinolone cream. I happened to have some, so I felt like I had nothing to lose by trying it. Overnight, the numerous pustules on my forehead and face cleared up and I was able to go without concealer for the first time in years. It was Christmas day... what a gift!

What is cause of rash on forehead?

A rash/pimples under the skin on the forehead can be caused from perspiration (clogged pores.) It's important to cleanse your face a couple of times a day with an oil-free cleanser. There are some very good ones at your local drug store. Often athletes such as football players or hockey players can get this problem.

Also, for women, (even men) any hair that is hanging on the forehead (and if you have oily hair) can clog pours. Just cleanse the face twice daily with oil-free cleanser, and apply wash with warm water, then cool (to close the pores.) Pat dry. You can ask your pharmacist for a cream from stopping your skin from flaking. There are so many good products out on the market and some are not expensive at all.

If this does not work (I am almost sure it will) then you may have a hormone problem, but only if you have these bumps all over your face. Forehead bumps are usually clogged pores.

If you have tried all kind of acne treatments and your condition is yet around, then you have a fungus problem. The thing that worked for me was non-prescription strength nizoral anti-dandruff shampoo. Put the shampoo on your forehead and let it stay on for no more then five minutes, rinse it off and do this twice a day. Believe me, it really work. If you have a bang, cut it off.

Describe jock itch?

A fungal infection of the groin.

Jock itch is a pretty common fungal infection of the groin and upper thighs. It's part of a group of fungal skin infections called tinea. The medical name for jock itch is tinea cruris (pronounced: tih-nee-uh krur-us).

Jock itch, like other tinea infections, is caused by several types of mold-like fungi called dermatophytes (pronounced: dur-mah-tuh-fites). All of us have microscopic fungi and bacteria living on our bodies, and dermatophytes are among them. Dermatophytes live on the dead tissues of your skin, hair, and nails and thrive in warm, moist areas like the insides of the thighs. So, when the groin area gets sweaty and isn't dried properly, it provides a perfect environment for the fungi to multiply and thrive.

What causes the itchy reddish rash on the body during cold weather?

This could be a tell-tale sign of HIV seroconversion.

Which kind of rash is both itchy and accompanied by a fever?

runny nose and fever are characteristic of either viral or bacterial infection. Since you mention rash, my best guess would be a bacterial infection. Some bacteria can infect the upper layer of the skin and then get absorbed in the blood stream. If the rash itches, it is most likely a bacterial infection. DONT SCRATCH. Take Ibuprofen (motrin or advil) for the fever, take cold medicine for the runny nose, purchase hydrocortisone with antibiotic ointment and CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

Antihistamines like Benadryl are the obvious solution to a problem with hives. A rash on your skin is your body's way of telling you that it's fighting something you're allergic to or something foreign on your skin. Nevertheless, try a homeopathic medicine called urtica urens first before giving antihistamines a shot. Get a 30c strength from the chemist and suck one twice a day-that should work within two or three days and might actually solve the problem. It's safe and free of any side effects.
