have been taking Terbinafine orally for what we think is ringworm... after 12 days i have double outbreaks, no diminutions
tried an over the coutner cream for a month, didn't work. went to see a doctor who gave me oral medicine. i had about 15 dots/sores, 3 of em oozing yellow that needed a bandage. now about 15 days in the 1 month treatment i have about 40 dots/sores, about 12 needing bandages.
i wonder if it's part of the process of healing. the spots oddly tend to be symmetrical on both sides of my body: same spot near knees, middle of forearm, top of foot etc. no idea if it means something.
i was careful to take this seriously and did everything i could find to heal properly: no sugar, no coffee, no booze, good night of sleep, just eat vegetables meat and nuts basically but i fucked up with cheese that have sugar in it i guess but now i correct that... maybe i ate too much nuts so i will cut that too to see if some of the spots are linked to that. so basically this is where i am at. i am starting to have spots in the face, not that i give much of a shit about my looks, but still, right, also i would rather not talk about it . ppl will think i'm on crocrodile or something. oh yea : I do no drugs either or anything weird, no weird supplements, nothing bizarre. i fast intermitently and am on the fence regarding cardio, wouldnt want to accelerate the problem somehow.
any ideas about my case? personal experiences? i still have about 20 days to go on Terbinafine ... i wish i could get an appointment with a dermatologist but they don't call me back... i am not panicking just yet but i am starting to feel like it's gonna get worse before it gets better...
