Wakuu,
Tunaomba ushauri wenu, wapi kwa Dar anapatikana Daktari ambaye ni specialist wa magonjwa ya ngozi.
Tunauliza hivi kwa niaba ya watu wengi sana ambao wamekuwa wanatupigia simu wakitaka kujua ni wapi watapata mtaalam wa magonjwa ya ngozi na hili la MBA likiwa mojawapo.
Shukrani

Skin fungal infections are common especially in tropical areas. Nilikuwa na tatizo kama la kwako, nikiwa mdogo nilipata kichwani (mapunye)ilibidi ninyolewe nywele zote. Nilivyofikia puberty years ikatokea mgongoni, mara zote hizo nilitibiwa na whitefield ointment nikadhani tatizo limepotea. Miaka karibu kumi iliyopita nilikuwa ninawashwa mwili mzima, sehemu fungus walikuwa wanaonekana ilikuwa chini ya maziwa. Kichwani nilipata mba wa ajabu, sikuwa ninaweza kusuka nywele, especially nikisuka rasta baada ya siku mbili zinaonekana chafu kwaajili ya utando mweupe unaozunguka.
Nilikutana na Dr wa Kinageria, akaniambia atajitahidi mpaka hili tatizo linakwisha, ikiwezekana kuchuka skin sample na kuipeleka lab wajui ni type gani ya fungal infection. Alinipa vidonge (diflucan tablets) nitumie kwa miezi mitatu kila siku kidonge kimoja, aliniandikia (daktacort cream) nipake zile sehemu zenye mba nizoweza kufikia na aliniandikia (nizoral shompoo) ilibidi nikate nywele upara kabisa na kuna siku nilikuwa ninapaka shampoo bila kuosha na ninalala mpaka asubuhi nikiosha shampoo nilikuwa ninapaka dakttacort cream. Nilifanya matibabu haya kwa muda wa miezi mitatu bila kuacha. Ninashukuru kwangu sasa mba ni historia.
Sabuni ya detol ni kwa bacteria infections such as vipele na ukumbuke mba ni fungal infection.

Skin fungus infections are hard to recognize. The itching, flaking, redness, and thickened skin of fungal infections can look just like other types of dermatitis or skin allergies.
In fact, eczematous skin often becomes infected with fungi, so both are present simultaneously. Doctors use microscopes to help them diagnose skin fungus infections, so there's no way you can really be sure at home.
Tinea Versicolor. This fungus actually changes the color of the skin it infects; the patches may be lighter or darker than your normal surrounding skin. This spotted pattern and the fine scaly flakes at the margins make this fungal infection the easiest to identify. Since itching and irritation are mild, it's also the least bothersome.
Warmth, humidity, sweating, and poor air circulation all help bring about these fungal infections. But they are contagious, too. Athlete's foot is believe to be passed on locker room and shower floors, and by sharing footwear and socks; you can acquire tinea versicolor from vinyl surfaces of weight lifting benches; and of course ringworm is contagious through direct contact (usually kids).
There are several effective OTC anti-fungal medications. Because different fungi affect different locations, medications are sometimes specific for those locations. The recommendations below should help you sort it out.
Although not a Category I agent, selenium sulfide shampoo is universally recognized by dermatologists as an effective OTC remedy for tinea versicolor. Since it often affects large areas of the trunk, applying this shampoo once a day for five minutes, then washing off, is a lot easier and cheaper than using a whole tube of anti-fungal cream twice daily. Tinea versicolor also tends to recur easily, but this shampoo can prevent it if used once a week after the initial 2-4 week treatment cycle.
