Hello I am an 18 year old male i am worried because its been a month since I started taking lamisil(2 250mgs a day) to treat toe nail fungus and I have developed a rash on the left side of my nose. Its been more then a week since I got it and it hasnt gone away. It first looked like blackhead pimples but now it looks slightly discolored.I have asked people if they see it and they that it only looks like a acne scar. I have also experienced joint stiffness and my back feels very itchy almost like a sunburn although I do have a large amount of back acne. I have been really stressed about it for the past week. I have been to two general practitioners and they all tell me that it looks like acne but I am not sure. I am also very worried because I have psoriasis and I read that the combination of lamisil and psoriasis can cause lupus.
There is no consistent association between combination of terminating (Tamil) and psoriasis causing lupus. What you might be having around your nose as well as on your back could be fungal infection since u already have fungal infection of the toenails. If that is the case terminating oral along with an antifungal cream such as on abet should make it better. You can send me a picture of your skin condition so that I can help you better. Hope this was of help.
