dermiford cream - #17991
About 2 weeks ago, I noticed this small red patch on my left arm. It was just a little itchy at first, so I thought maybe it was just dry skin or something. But after a few days, the redness started spreading, and the skin became rough, almost like a rash but not exactly. It felt warm to touch, and sometimes it itched so bad I couldn’t stop scratching. A pharmacist told me it looked like a fungal infection and recommended dermiford cream. I started using dermiford cream as directed, twice a day. The first few days, it seemed to be helping. The itching reduced a bit, and the redness faded slightly, so I thought it was working. But after a week, the patch didn’t completely go away. Instead, it started flaking, and now I feel like it’s spreading to the other side of my arm. I don’t understand, isn’t dermiford cream supposed to stop the infection? I even kept my skin clean, changed my bedsheets, and avoided scratching, but still, the problem isn’t going away fully. Now, my skin feels even more sensitive, and I’ve stopped using dermiford cream for a couple of days to see if maybe my skin is reacting badly to it. But without it, the itching seems to be getting worse again. I feel stuck because I don’t want to keep using dermiford cream if it’s only giving temporary relief. Someone told me Ayurvedic treatments are better because they remove the root cause instead of just suppressing the symptoms. Is that true? I don’t want this rash to keep spreading, and I definitely don’t want to rely on chemical creams forever. Are there any Ayurvedic alternatives that actually work for skin infections like this? Is there something I can apply directly or maybe a herbal remedy I can take internally to stop this from coming back? Also, do I need to change my diet or avoid certain foods to help clear it up faster? Any help would be really appreciated before I waste more time with dermiford cream.
