Re: Help for tinea versicolor.

Try Lotrosome(spelling?) cream. It may now be available without a

percription. I'm not sure. Most antifungal creams will work, this

one is pretty good I think.

This needs anti-fungal treatment. Lotromin OTC, Lemon Balm, probiotics...

unfortunately, fungus can take 1 - 2 months of daily treatment to go

away....

I used to have to deal with it. It is difficult to get rid of. I used to use

Whitfield's ointment, but I don't think they make it anymore. I first got it

as a teenager, when I had to wear a polyester waitress uniform, bra and

pantyhose. As odd as it sounds, these things will always make me get it. The

last time I had it was when I was pregnant with my first daughter, I had

started wearing a bra again, and I had it all along the bra line, it was

pretty obvious that that was what was doing it, up until then, I had though

it maybe was a coincidence that I would get it when I was regularly wearing

one. I have not been able to find a bra that doesn't do this to me.

Pantyhose was always around the waistline, that terrible uniform I had to

wear gave it to me on my belly. Your daughter might be having the same

reaction to her swimsuit, which is why you can't seem to get rid of it. Try

to find a swimsuit that is cotton, and use a strong anti-fungal lotion, it

will take maybe 2 weeks to notice it fading.

Tana,

I had to chuckle when I read your suggestion about the swimsuit.

Bella is a real nudist--and swims nude unless she has guests over!

Thanks for the tips on getting rid of the fungus!
