CLOTRIMAZOLE TOPICAL vs KETOCONAZOLE

I was recently hospitalized for severe diarrhea that developed after taking antibiotics. I had a bad itchy, red rash on my scrotum and anus that was diagnosed as erysipelas, and I was Rx'd clindamycin. I got pretty bad diarrhea, so they switched me to doxycycline. The rash improved but didn't go awa

Patient came into the pharmacy (24 hours, I’m overnight) with a rash, asking what to use Urgent care gave them some ketoconazole, but the rash is spreading. Went through the whole did you change detergents, soaps etc, nothing changed. Brought up that they started Wellbutrin 3 weeks ago. Bingo, SJS.

Does anyone have any idea what the purpose of this is? L

Does anyone know if it’s safe to use ketoconazole cream if the patient has an allergy to fluconazole? Or if they have a systemic allergy to flagyl but safe to use vandazole? Can’t really find anything out there and don’t really recall anything from class. Thanks in advance
