www.balancedhealthtoday.com www.balancedhealthtoday.com www.balancedhealthtoday.com Jock itch is commonly seen in boys and men whose anatomy allows for a warm, moist environment which is ideal for fungal growth: * Often itchy and occurs in the groin creases (the scrotum is rarely affected), although it may spread to the upper inner thigh, buttocks and sometimes the lower abdomen. More common in warm climates. * Shows as a red-brown scaly rash, sometimes with small blisters or pustules at the edge. * At times the skin may show a thickened appearance(lichenification) from rubbing and chronic scratching. Ringworm (Tinea corporis) Ringworm causes red scaly patches that are typically ring-shaped. It generally appear on the upper body, or the hands and feet. Beware that ringworm is sometimes inadvertently treated with topical cortisone creams, which change the appearance of the rash and may worsen the condition. You are at risk for ringworm if you: * have a suppressed immune system * play contact sports or recreational activities * are the child of parents who have a fungal skin infection. * are genetically-predisposed to this type of infection. Note that an uncommon but important variant is a condition known as Majocchi granuloma, which is a collection of small bumps or granulomas that can sometimes become warty-looking. This occurs when women shave their legs and the fungus becomes implanted in and around the hair follicle. www.balancedhealthtoday.com www.balancedhealthtoday.com

Question by a_n_roquelaure: How do I get rid of a skin rash caused by yeast (Candidiasis)?
Argh! I’ve never had this before and am at the end of my rope! I have a rash on my neck caused by yeast. My dermatologist is having me treat it with diet, supplements (acidophilous, garlic, zinc), and topical clotrimazole. It’s working, but s-l-o-w-l-y. It’s been over a month, and most of it is gone, but is seems to have almost stopped clearing- there are the same remaining bumps and brown spots where the bumps have cleared. Is there ANYTHING I can do to get over this last “hump”? I’ve been gently exfoliating and using a salicylic acid antibacterial cleanser, I was told it was safe to use. Anyone? I’ve searched the web for days and can only find stuff on how to cure diaper rash (almost all of which I’ve tried), not adults.

When my children have had yeast rashes, I use over-the-counter miconazole cream (like the kind you buy for a vaginal yeast infection-Monistat etc.). It’s always worked well.
