Ketoconazole topical "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 so 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."

"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 washed 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."

"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."

Ketoconazole topical "A battle with ringworm for almost a year. Used Canesten, sulfur, zinc, etc. Just last month, a pharmacist suggested Nizoral cream. In 2 weeks, ringworm is gone. I hope it never comes back again."
