It consists of red worms Blue Worms straight lines and beetles and larvae please help me I'm putting athlete's foot medicine on my face and body it's killing them but I can't take it anymore is there anything you can do I'm on United Healthcare insurance
Brief Answer:
We need testing and communicable disease specialist's input!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have reviewed these details fully.
It is certainly a concerning situation and complex. Yeast are not worms and therefore there is more to your symptoms and they need to be reviewed fully before any treatment is handed to you. I do agree with your doctor that you see a communicable disease specialist for testing first. We must identify what the exact cause of and them treat accordingly. I'm afraid most medications without prior testing will lead to adverse results. If this were truly a yeast infection, the applied anti-fungal creams would have already controlled well.
In all, let’s do further testing and get evaluation results for communicable disease specialist before treating as the exact nature and cause of your symptoms remains unknown.
I hope this helps. I wish you well.
Please feel free to follow up with me if need be.
Kind regards
