Q: Skin Yeast Infection
asked by: EllieJane on January 21st, 2007

So I have had this continual problem of red spots on my skin. The spots are small and vary in size and shape. They do not itch or anything either. I mostly get them on my back, neck, chest and arms. I recal having a similar problem when I was about 8 years old around my neck and again when I was about 13 around my private area. Both times I got treatment and it want away. Recently I went to the doctor and she said it is a yeast infection on my skin and to use anti-fungal cream which I do and after awhile it goes away but keeps comming back in a different place. Is this unusual for a yeast infection/is it really a yeast infection? And does anyone have any advice on how to make it go away and stay away/should I be on perscription meds instead of over the counter athleats foot cream?

Have you been keeping your bed sheets and blankets clean? They can be the reason why you keep getting re-infected. When I had ringworm it was a nightmare trying to wash all my clothes, my bed sheets, blankets, even the couch cushions! My dogs were the reason why I got ringworm so everything they touched and I touched had to get cleaned and then re-cleaned.
