Because I am immune suppressed I recently got ringworm on my neck. What fungus cream have your doctors recommended that is safe for transplant patients? I picked one up with 1% clotrimazole but am hesitant to use it. Any one had the same problem?

It's very important to consult your transplant center for guidance. Some anti-fungal meds are okay and some are downright dangerous. I assume the types/combinations of your immunosuppressants play a big role into the decision making. Just make sure to check-in with your transplant center soon, fungal infections can become serious fast.
The clotrimazole cream is safe & effective, accd to the pharmacist I consulted. I used it successfully for a fungal infection on my butt due to the extreme diarrhea the immunesuppressants caused. I also used prescription nystatin, but for OTC drugs, clotrimazole can work.
