Hi my 6 year old son visited the doc today for discoloration of his cheeks. Both side have white blotches with the left side more blotchy. The doc said it was some fungus that happens in march? He said to put lamisil cream on it, I have read many bad things about the cream? What are your thoughts
Hi, Based on the given history your beloved son seems to be suffering from a fungal infection of the skin called satyriasis. Tamil (terminating) is commonly prescribed to treat a variety of fungal skin infections such as ringworm, athletes foot, and satyriasis (Tina tricolor); a fungal infection that causes a lightening or darkening of the skin of the cheek, neck, chest, arms, or legs. Its common side effects include skin peeling or itching. It may also cause skin irritation, burning, stinging, itching, redness, rash. Continue applying the cream on the affected areas of the cheek of your son and consult his doctor if he develops a severe reaction to it. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
