What Causes Blisters While On Treatment For Fungal Infection Under The Arms?
I have been treating a fungal infection under arm pits and when trying to use deodorant it became worse and actually blistered. Much more painful too. I did purchase baking soda and corn starch to keep it dry and plan on starting that tonight and also peroxide to clean, is there anything else I should do?
Fungal infections tend to occur in moist areas such as under the arms, under the breasts or in the groin area.
You need to use anti fungal medication. An anti fungal powder may be best because it would help to keep the area dry. Examples of anti fungal powders are miconazole ,zeasorb
You can use anti inflammatory pain killers such as ibuprofen, cataflam, naproxen to help reduce your discomfort.
If the topical anti antifungal is not enough , you may need a oral antifungal.
I hope this helps
