So on friday i had a few bumps along my beltline and inside my groin, and a bit under my arm, nothing major... dr said it was probably heat rash... so i treated it as so, over the weekend it severley worsened.... so i went back on mon and he said maybe folliculitis, but wasnt sure, the rash was bizarre.... so my HMO doesnt cover here and said go to the hospital, the doc wasnt sure, gave me scabies treatment just in case.... then my HMO says come to town and get checked.... 2 docs didnt know, sent me to a dermatologist... checked it for mites not that, took a biopsy, but not sure what it is yet so he gave me topical steroid, oral steroid, and an antibiotic.... but i am wondering if maybei have a masssive yeast infection, it is behind my knees, in my arm pits, and along my belt line and groin, MAJOR, i mean the bumps are almost on top of each other now, and i dried out my skin with extra showers so its even worse... and there a re a few along my belly my sides... none on my back, and a few on my hands and wrist....


it has been lately secreting some kind of liquid that dries and becomes sticky, in my white shirt it left a yellow color on the armpit, and all the areas do it, it is just especially in the heavily papulated areas...... i know i can wait on the biopsy, but if it is yeast, then wont steroids hurt me more than help me?????


PLEASE HELP... its been 6 days, and its horrible, my sis said she wouldnt wish it on her worst enemy adn got chills thinking aobut it, and this is the same girl who when i cut my face to the skull, she was in there watchin it and watching the stitches go in....

Note: you can buy over the counter stuff for it too, or ask dr for script! It dose cause rash on men!

Can men suffer from Candida Infection?

Yes. Men are as susceptible to yeast infection as women. Candidiasis symptoms in men may not be as conspicuous as in women, but candidiasis is equally prevalent in both sexes. Candida overgrowth will begin in the gastro-intestinal tract, and will frequently expand to other organs, including the upper respiratory system, the skin, the groin, the prostate and the penis, although many times the infection of the man's sexual organs will remain asymptomatic. Balanitis is an infection of the penis caused by candida, some of its symptoms are itching, burning sensation after intercourse, redness, rashes and soreness.

Jock itch, a common problem, is many times due to candida, especially in those cases where nothing produces results. This is because the candida from the intestinal tract will continue to reinfect the groin, no matter how effective the local treatment may be.
