Yeast infection in unusual places

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to share my experience with this because the doctor

and pharmacist both tried to tell me when I had a yeast infection

under the breasts and in underarm area that monistat cream for

the " other area " would not work for this. At the time I did not have

medical insurance and the price for a tube of statin cream was

almost $100. I turned down the prescription, went home and used what

I already had on hand. It worked just great! Until the situation

cleared up though, I was quite miserable. It stung and was seemingly

impossible to keep dry.

At the risk of sounding crazy, I also lined the bottom of my bra

cups with tissues/paper towels trying to absorb extra moisture. I

recommend not putting soap on the area when showering but using only

water and making sure you pat dry with towel.

, I hope this is resolved for you quickly. Also you might try

eating more yogurt with live cultures and including buttermilk with

cultures into your diet. These will help your body fight against the

yeast tendency. Eating a diet high in sugars will cause more yeast

in your body as will taking antibiotics.

I hope this helps. I can certainly emphathize with you.
