> Here, you can buy hydrocortisone OTC. A few antifungal creams are available: miconazole, ketoconazole, terbinafine (Lamisil) etc. Can't you buy antifungal creams in the US?

Having been in the Land of Smiles for about 6 years now, I've been out of Western circulation and maybe the laws in the U.S. have changed since '99. But the last time I had a dermatological problem in the U.S. (late 90s) you needed an Rx to get cortisone creams above a certain percentage concentration. I didn't need a fungal cream until I got to Thailand, so maybe I was wrong about needing an Rx for it in the U.S. But I'm sure about the strong cortisones.

Thanx--Forner friends in the U.S. who didn't even know each other coincidentally called me by the same nickname. So it must be something in my appearance. I guess the name fits since I sometimes stick my nose where it shouldn't go and get stung or stuck.
