Suggest Treatment For Severe Yeast Infection Around The Lower Abdomen

Posted on Fri, 8 Jul 2016

Question: I have developed a severe skin yeast infection under my stomach flap. I have been treating it with nystatin powder and had one 200 mg fluconazole today. Using a hair dryer to keep area dry. It started on Friday after getting hot and sweaty playing tennis. Never had one this severe that would not respond to treatment. It's painful. Anything else I can try?

Apply clotrimazole cream or miconazole cream

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply clotrimazole cream or miconazole cream on the affected areas twice daily for 10-14 days.
This should relieve the yeast infection.
Besides this continue with the powder and keep the area dry.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
