what do i do to get rid of a yeast infection on my chest?

Question

Answer 1

Fungal cream: You can buy otc athlete's foot cream. Their effective ingredients work on almost all fungal infections that affect the skin anywhere in the body, not just the feet.

Answer 2

Acne Therapy: Acne treatments work by reducing oil production, speeding up skin cell turnover, fighting bacterial infection, reducing the inflammation or doing all four. With most prescription acne treatments, you may not see results for four to eight weeks, and your skin may get worse before it gets better. There are topicals like ziana and epiduo and oral medication like solodyn (minocycline). See your dermatologist.

Answer 3

Sinus Infections: You can try drinking lots of fluids, steam, salt water nasal sprays, various herbs and neti pots. The success of these treatments is quite variable and dependent on how severe the infection is, how long you have had it, the severity of your allergies, septal deviations, nasal polyps, etc. Etc. See your ENT doc if the sinus issues persist... They can become serious or chronic if you delay too long.

Answer 4

General care: Lymphedema of the arm is seen following breast procedures (axillary dissection, radiation), and avoiding putting pressure on the arm doesn't prevent the swelling. Avoid scratches, injury of the arm that can result in infection and further damage of the lymphatics. Seek help of a lymphedema trained physical therapist for specific advice.

Answer 5

Stimulate other side: To help relieve stress stimulate your opposite arm pit by massaging daily - called manual lymph drainage. There are lymph massage tools available over the counter. Then do the same massage on affected arm this will prevent lymphedema on the affected side.

Answer 6

No: Commonly used antibiotics for UTI don't stop you from getting pregnant. In fact, some women on birth control pills get pregnant when they take antibiotics as antibiotics can affect birth control pill effectiveness.

Answer 7

No.: Antibiotics are generally safe in pregnancy. I know of no antibiotic that can decrease fertility.

Answer 8

Eczema treatment: Keeping your eczema under good control is the best option. If you are having repeated epidsodes, talk to your dermatologist about more intensive treatment options for keeping your eczema under better control.

Answer 9

Hard to say: The white patches is where your skin is healing but has not had time to return pigment tone to its proper density. You can use a cover makeup in the short term, but better control of your eczema would be required to avoid this issue.
