Question 1

i have fungus in my back in the front of my breast i need help?

Accepted Answer

Lamisil (terbinafine): I suggest that you try an over the counter yeast cream like lamisil (terbinafine) (terbenafine). Use a thin layer twice a day. It may take a week or two to clear up. If not, it may not be yeast. See your doctor to make sure of the diagnosis if this does not clear it up.

Question 2

darkening of the skin between my breasts from fungus?

Accepted Answer

Tinea versicolor: Tinea versicolor  is a chronic yeast infection of the skin.  The main symptom is patches of discolored skin with sharp borders and fine scale. This skin condition can be controlled but not cured. Treatment is with topical anti yeast medication like Nizoral cream or oral  medication like ketoconazole.

Question 3

is the dark spot between my breasts some kind of a fungus?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: A dermatologic evaluation should help to accurately determine the cause.

Question 4

i have brown discoloration under my breasts. is it fungus? not itchy or painful.

Accepted Answer

Normal: Relax. Very dark around neck, under arms, in other folds of skin? Are you very heavy? Acanthosis nigricans is related to obesity and insulin resistance.

Question 5

i need to get a fungus powder for a fungus on my chest, its between my breast she said its from the moisture and heat, but what powder should i get?

Accepted Answer

Nystatin: This requires a prescription, but you may also try lotrimin (clotrimazole) cream, which is available over the counter.

Question 6

i have fungus attack on my body. in my under arms, near my breasts and also the pelvic area. please help.

Accepted Answer

Get medicine : You can use an over the counter yeast medication until you can be seen by your doctor. Since it is in multiple body areas you should be seen very soon. Oral prescription treatment is likely necessary. You should request to be tested for immune system uppression issues and diabetes.

Question 7

would applying tea tree oil and corn starch under breasts and in between help to kill a possible fungus (flat, reddish areas in the middle of breasts)?

Accepted Answer

Fungal Infection: I am not sure why you would try this combination which has absolutely no anti-fungal properties when there are numerous anti-fungal medications or treatments available without prescription.

Question 8

my dermo told me that the reddish area between my breasts is caused by a fungus.  loprox is too expensive.  would lotrimin (clotrimazole) 1% cream be equally good?

Accepted Answer

Maybe but call her: Docs dont always reallize what the prescription will cost you and we are happy to make a appropriate switch. But please let her/him know and avoid making a medication switch behind his back. Secrets arent good for anyone.

Question 9

ive had this rash on my left elbow for yrs, my friend told me it was excema and i was putting on excema stuff for it, on sun, i was using fungus stuff for my breast and thought maybe i should try it on my elbow,now its almost gone, did i have a fungu?

Accepted Answer

: Not necessarily.  Your "fungal stuff" could have steroids in it that would affect/treat an eczema.
Wish you good health!

Question 10

is clotrimazole 1% cream equally effective as loprox (ciclopirox) gel .77% for fungus between breasts?  is it safe to apply cornstarch on the area to keep it dry?

Accepted Answer

Fungal: Do not apply cornstarch. Use either anti fungal . Go to your doctor to figure out why it is there unless its just ringworm.
