Xolegel (ketoconazole) "Rash under my fat roll on stomach, yep you heard me correctly, That large inner tube that flops over. This is great medication however It burns sooo bad I thought I would SCREAM. I may have, it is a blinding pain. I had to google it to see if others felt the same way. Your skin numbs and you do feel better. It takes the rash away every time I use it. So get it, use it and watch the rash disappear"

"So I'm using Ketoconazole cream for my ringworm rash on my foot and ankle, the first day was great, the second not so much. My foot has gotten better but I'm very sick, I have had fevers, headaches, and severe hives all over my entire body... I'm glad it's working well, but the side effects are a pain.. Literally."

"I had a very negative reaction to the 2% cream. Within 3 hours of the first application, the skin on my forehead, cheeks, ears, and neck turned red and I felt a slight burning sensation. After 8 hours, the skin turned EXTREMELY red and the burning sensation was a bit worse. I stopped applying the cream the next day, but on that day, the skin became very dry and started flaking. On the following day, the skin's flakiness worsened and there were quite a few larger flakes, e.g. 1/4 inch x 1/4 inch and 1/4 inch x 1/2 inch flakes. I washing my skin repeatedly, applied fluocinonide .05% (which I was applying on my skin on other parts of my body), and within 2 days, the irritation and flakiness stopped. My dermatologist believes I may have had an allergic reaction to other components in the cream because I had not had a reaction like this with my Ketoconazole 2% shampoo which I had been using for 3 months."
