Hello
What are the prescription ointments for ringworm of the skin around the anus?
I've used primafucort but it didn't help, what are the still strong, effective and safe prescription ointments/creams preferably without corticosteroids that can be used around the anus?
Please reply.
Best regards

Of the prescription drugs, most have a note in the leaflet that they should not be used on the mucous membranes. However, in practice, drugs such as Triderm - with an antibiotic, antifungal agent and a steroid are recommended for mycosis of the skin around the anus, especially when redness and inflammation occur. Short-term use of the steroid on a small area of skin carries a low risk of systemic effects, and can accelerate skin regeneration and shorten the healing time of the lesion.
If the use of the ointment or cream alone is not effective enough - you do not observe any improvement after 3-4 days, oral pharmacotherapy may be necessary. Here you can find examples of prescription antifungal preparations:

Since these are prescription drugs, their use must be decided by a doctor.
