im probably gonna get 0 response for this question but does any dermo or someone know of a conventional or new age medicine to get rid of a skin fungus specifically GOUGEROT CARTEAUD which is what he diagnosed me with but i still believe its tinea versicolor……he told me it was a desease with no cure but i dont always believe doctors……now i have tried a lot of things like selsun blue and garlic extract pills and acidophilius and acne cream like tretoin or however you spell it and steva a or something and anti biotics……..some have worked and some have not…….so any other suggestions would help………im just throwing a hail mary pass up because i’ve tried everything
You should seek a second opinion for your skin condition. In the meantime, have you tried any of the over the counter fungal treatments like Lotrimin AT spray or any of the other antifungals? You might want to try Lotrimin AT out – my friend had something that looked like tinea versicolor and he started using the Lotrimin AT spray and it did clear up – but the catch is if he doesn’t use it relatively frequently the symptoms come back.
Good luck!
There are treatments available for GOUGEROT CARTEAUD
You need a second opinion Gougerot Carteaud,also know as CRP
Is usually trated with antibiotics.
The most consistent results may be seen with minocycline. Other modalities include keratolytics; intramuscular, oral, and topical forms of vitamin A; sodium thiosulphate; ammoniated mercury; oral contraceptives; oral and topical retinoids; thyroid extract; ultraviolet light; propylene glycol; antibiotics; antimycotics; and calcipotriene.
If this Dr is telling you there is no treatments,please go see another Dr.
If you still think it’s Tinea Versicolor than try tea tree oil it works very well but it doesn’t smell nice.
Good Luck
Use Nizoral when showering than buff your skin dry.
Apply tea tree oil overnight and take shower in the morning.
Also try not to drink beer and eat less sweets.
4 week treatment should help!
Good Luck
Did you try to go to a different dermatologist?
