How Can Yeast Infection In The Armpit Be Treated?
I have a yeast infection in my armpit. I am diabetic and took two rounds of antibiotics. I have applied yeast infection cream to my armpit for 3 weeks. No improvement. Then applied powder for yeast infections. Little improvement. Now trying tea tree oil. Any suggestions?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Since the topical treatments did not help to clear up the infection, an oral antifungal (like Fluconazole) should be tried for which a prescription is required. You can apply Candid B ointment, and keep the area clean and dry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Lekshmi Rita Venugopal
