About a month ago I developed a small rash in the antecubital region of my left arm. I applied some Aquaphor for a few days and it went away. Well, yesterday it reappeared. I have kept Nystatin on it and it seems to be going away. It is only slightly itchy but the first day was really red. What is this?
Hi! Thank you for your question! As you mention statin, that is an antifungal agent, and your rash seems to disappear it could also be a dermatophytes (fungal infection). I would recommend you continue with Statin twice a day for at least 2 weeks, and also a week after the lesion disappears. It could also be a dermatitis, and that's why it went away with Aquifer. Sometimes these two conditions can present together, that's why I also recommend you use a topical OTC corticosteroid once a day for 1-2 weeks. You can also mix the two medications together. You can continue with Aquifer, several times a day to HY Chat Doctor. I hope you get better. Please feel free to contact me again if anything is unclear.
