I have ketoconazole cream from 2007 that I used for my pityriasis versicolor ( I have lighter colored spots on my chest and upper stomach). It went away for a couple years, but came back. Can I still use that cream? If not I still have 1 refill on it can I still use that or do I have to go back to the doctor?
Hello, Thank you for posting on ChatDoctorThe condition you have described is called Satyriasis tricolor, a superficial skin infection caused by a fungus. I would recommend you take short course of oral antifungal Chat Doctor. Apply ketoconazole cream twice a day over the white patches regularly. Use shampoo containing ketoconazole and selenium sulfate for rinsing daily. Maintain hygiene. Hope you will get fine shorthand you
