How To Deal With Yeast Infection?

I have been exposed to live yeast as an ingredient in insecticide. there is white residue all over my property. The tissue of my hands has been altered by dermal contact with these spray residues. I can peel off what I feel is a bio film from my fingers. The tissue comes off in plant-like formations with branches. Any tissue that I peel comes off with no bleeding and the area from which it was removed restores itself very rapidly in a matter of a few hours. What is going on?

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic.
Based on the details in your query, I am suspecting allergic reaction to insecticide rather than yeast infection. Yeast infections are more common on mucous membranes rather than skin. Skin fungal infection presents with scaly lesions which bleed once peeled off.
I suggest you wash off the affected area using a strong soap. Apply calamine over the affected areas. Take Tab Atarax 25mg twice daily for three days.
If the lesions do not reduce get in touch with a dermatologist and get those lesions examined.
Thanks.
