Hi All,
Has anyone developed any type(s) of fungal infections since starting G? I have been on G for almost 10 months and have developed ringworm.
I've been racking my brain (what's left of it) trying to figure out how I contracted it under my left breast, since I'm not in the habit of walking around with it exposed!
I first blamed it on a bra fitting at Macy's, the only place I could think of coming in contact with it. Now, after reading the prescribing information that comes in the G pack, I see it can be a side effect of G.
I initially was treating the area with OTC Lotrimin, but now it has continued across and down my abdomen, almost to my bikini line. Needless to say, I have an appointment with my PCP on Wednesday and have discussed treating it with oral Nizoral. Now I see in the prescribing info that this drug (Ketoconazole) is contraindicated with Gilenya (can increase liver side effects). BUT OF COURSE!!!!!
Anybody have any experiences with this? If so, how did you treat?
Thanks, Cat (and no, I didn't get it from my cat )
