How Can A Recurrent Rash On The Stomach Be Treated?
Hi. I am overweight. I get this recurring rash under my belly. It s red. It produces an odor. It has a burning sensation, but no itching. I have tried Nystatin Cream in the past and I think it helps. This condition comes and goes. What can i do?

Hi,
If it responds to Nystatin, it could most possibly due a fungal infection. I request to continue the ointment for one more week along with an antihistamine tablet. You can apply an antifungal powder to reduce friction in skin folds. If you do not get any improvement in a week, you must consult your dermatologist for further management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
