Can dialantin pills induce psoriasis like skin infections?
Patient: Hi how u doing? Does psoriasis get on the inner thighs and does it itch bad.... I was wondering if dilantin can cause it too because i take that for epeilepsy and i know i have had itchy skin from it and been taking it for 30+ yrs!!!! Oh im sry i see it says to put my age on here i am 37 5'11 and 160lbs Doctor: Hi. First of all, its not clear if you are having psoriasis in your groin area. It could be tinea cruris too. And, phenytoin is not known to cause psoriasis in current medical literature. On the contrary, there are some works on phenytoin as a treatment for psoriasis! Here is one such paperhttp://europepmc.org/abstract/MED/21970250Now coming to your condition, i think you should give antifungals a try. Apply Onabet cream twice daily. Update us after a week. If possible, post clinical photograph for confirmation. Hope it answers all your queries
