What Are Red, Peeling Skin On Body And Red Dots On Abdomen Suggestive Of?

HI, I m having several symptoms that make me questions whether I have a systemic yeast infection...not vaginal. My skin is red, peeling in MANY areas-hands, legs, elbows (although I have a history of psoriasis...this looks different- I promise). I ve also suffered with changes in my digestive system-constipation, bloating, crampy. Then there s the 2 cases of cellulitis in the past year (once on my scalp which needed to be lanced followed by 2 different antibiotic treatments simultaneously, another on my chin treated with antibiotics and Mupirocin ointment ). I also have a ton of tiny, little red dots all over my abdominal area...petechiae? For the first time in my 43 year life span, I was told by my GYN that My discharge was a little yeasty! HORRIFYING! but, with no other vaginal symptoms(eg. itching, burning, etc-otherwise, I would ve treated myself to an OTC miconazole treatment. I ve been told by a VET that my dog has severe yeast as well....I m horrified and want to know...which doctor is best to see? Infectious Disease. Could I have contracted this from the family dog...oh! the horror! And no....I m not a hypochondriac. (Joke) PLEASE try to assess me and give me your professional opinion. I do eat a lot of refined sugars, carbs...bad...bad. Please, this is scary, I feel like a lepper!

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
