I am a 51 year old male with Hyperaldosteronism due to adrenal adenoma, diabetes t2, intracranial small vessel disease, periphial artery disease, high bp, stage 3 kidney disease. I take a large amount of medication.
I have found on my right shin a “rash”. Hydrocortisone crean has done nothing to it. I have had it for four weeks or more. In the last several days it has begun to scab a little. What could this be?

HI
APPLY ANTIFUNGAL LOCAL CREAMS ALONG WITH ORAL ANTI FUNGAL MEDICINES WILL HELP.
APPLYING HYDROCORTISONE MAY FLARE UP THE INFECTION. SO BETTER TO AVOID IT
