Brief Answer:
Kindly send a photograph by XXXXXXX camera for a quick and easy treatment.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,

Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

1. I think it is an infection due to the levels of glucose in the bloodstream.
2. The only way to diagnose, determine the exact name and cure of a skin
problem is to view a photograph.
3. Kindly click a photograph and send it as an attachment to healthcaremagic.
Visit the website and choose "Upload" and then select your picture file.
4. It is a chronic infection and can be cured very easily if and only if you, apply
the medication for at least 3 months. (cream).

I am waiting for photographs of the skin problem.

Brief Answer:
To get cured of this problem, use ketoconazole cream.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,

Thanks for the pictures you have sent us.
I have carefully examined them and I am certain that you have a temporary fungal infection of candidiasis.

I am 100% confident of this.

Kindly apply clotrimazole or ketoconazole cream to the affected areas.

And yes, this happened because people with diabetes are prone to candidiasis.
It's neither your fault nor is it a problem of cleanliness.

I would recommend that you also take an antifungal tablet, like Fluconazole 150mg (one tablet only) for a quick shot cure. Still, you must apply the creams for at least a month.

Regards,
Dr. Neel Kudchadkar

Brief Answer:
Your suspicions were right. Either way you'll be OK very soon. Like this...

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,

You are absolutely right. The fact is that you needed to take insulin injections because you had Diabetes. What is Diabetes? When blood glucose, meaning normal sugar (like table sugar), rises to high levels in your body, it supplies "food" to germs like "Candida". Thus you are at risk for such, minor annoying problems.

Relax, all people have recovered in a strikingly short time from Candida (spots on skin) problem.

Change of place has no issues. Atenolol is a very good, tried trusted and proven means of making your BP normal. This is not because of Atenolol.

Do nothing. Just apply the creams and maybe take 1 Fluconazole tablet. And your skin will be exactly "new" and "just like the way it was".

It's a pleasure clinically interacting with you. I have put to rest all your doubts.
If you have anymore, feel free to contact me anytime, day or night, at healthcaremagic.

All the best.
Dr. Neel Kudchadkar
