Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I advise you on the following. Keep the foot clean and dry. Avoid contact with detergents or soaps. Mix Ketoconazole 2% ointment and Salicylic Acid 24 % ointment and apply to the affected area twice a day for one month. Moisturize the whole foot with a urea-based moisturizer. For itching, take the tablet Bilastine 20 mg sos (if and when needed).

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I need these medicines in my country for my father, but he cannot purchase them there without a prescription. Can you please prescribe some medicines generic in nature? He cannot meet any dermatologist here due to the covid restrictions.

Ketoconazole, Salicylic Acid and Bilastine are generic names.
