How Can Recurrent Yeast Infection Be Prevented?
I am having a recurring yeast infection/ flare up on my face. Bright red splotches, swelling, blisters filled with clear liquid, itching,. Currently using prescription Nystatin ointment and I also have prescription Clobetasol Propionte Ointment. Culture taking shows candida. Its just on my face. It will completely clear up and then reoccurs in the same places on my face. Can you help me?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There are really only three things.
1) Keep the area aired and dry which might not be possible.
2)Fix diseases that predispose to it like diabetes and urine leakage/incontinence.
3) Increase urine acidity (Vitamin C three times a day).
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman
