What Causes Recurrent Yeast Infection Under The Breast And Abdomen Despite Using Nystatin?

Hi, I have a reaccuring yeast infection under breasts, and also just developed at lower stomach area where lower stomach folds a little. Dr Rex nystatin powder and cream, will clear for a few days, but then returns, almost like a flare up, for no apparent reason. I find that using cornstarch helps prob as well as the Rx. Should I maybe start an oral med??.......dr said use the nystatin more consistently......??

Hello,

Is anyone at home is diabetic or you yourself are diabetic? Are you over weight? Do you sweat a lot?

You can use Flucos gel 2 times per day for 15 days, Flucos ITZ dusting powder 2 to 3 times per day, KZ soap for bath and take tablet Ener C 1000 mg dissolvable tablet early morning empty stomach.

Continue all above for 15 days and see the difference. Even after this if you get
more frequent infection, and then we will start with oral anti-fungal drugs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priya Mohod Shirsat
