AquaPhor - daily

[ In Reply To ..]
Unlike Vaseline (100% petrolatum), which is occlusive, Aquaphor (41% petrolatum) forms a semi-occlusive barrier on the skin. This enables the transmission of water and oxygen, which is important for wound healing and the formation of a protective moist healing environment. Been around 90 years ... buy at Walmart OTC. Apply daily.

Tea tree oil ...sm - ME

... is good for fungal infections. I would use it twice daily.

This works for - me

The above suggestions are good. I like tea tree cream that I get from Puritans Pride online. Any anti-fungal cream will work. I have even used athletes foot cream because the dollar store has it for a dollar. After it goes away, I use powder or cornstarch after I wash everyday to keep it dry. Hope these ideas help you.

Powder for athlete's feet OTC - Antibacterial soap/triple antibiotic

[ In Reply To ..]
Clean every 4 hours with the antibacterial soap, any kind you have. Then, apply the powder. There is anti-fungal powder for feet which also works for any fungal infection. Put gauze into region to absorb sweat. I would also make a practice to find ability to allow sunlight to reach this area for any amount of time if that is an option in your region. If this shows no impact within 24 hours, I would add a thin film of Triple Antibiotic.

If skin breaks down or you have pain , you'll probably need to see a physician. But you can start there. Try to back off sugar and milk for a week. I would even suggest taking swigs of vinegar for pH balance value.

I have breast yeast infection issues and these measures work for me.

Thank you all for your suggestions. - I really appreciate them.

The itching is driving me crazy. I'm finally off work and heading for the shower. I've been using triple antibiotic ointment and anti-itch cream, it seems to almost go away and then comes back again. I even used diaper ointment to try to block it and rags to place underneath so the skin doesn't touch. Gotta get this cleared up soon because I'm having a colonoscopy and a knee replacement within the next month. Can't afford an infection with that going on. Again, thanks to everyone!

Clotrimazole cream - in the

[ In Reply To ..]
foot care section. You don't need the brand-name (Lotrimin, etc.), which is pricey. Walmart has 2-oz tubes of their own brand for about $6. You can also get generic 2-oz tubes from Amazon for about the same price. It will clear up the infection, then use after showering to prevent recurrence.

Clotrimazole cream 88 cents - MT

[ In Reply To ..]
I have used a generic clotrimazole cream purchased from Walmart which is only 88 cents a tube. I believe it's promoted as being for treatment of athlete's foot, but it's the same stuff, and it works for me.

Yes, our Walmart sometimes - has

[ In Reply To ..]
the 88-cent 1-oz clotrimazole cream, but sometimes it doesn't. Their own brand is generally much less expensive than the brand names, so that is why I mentioned it. If the OP's Walmart has the 88-cent version, all the better!

Put Chobani plain Greek yogurt directly on the skin and leave it. The probiotics/active cultures will kill the yeast. We did this with patients when I worked in assisted living. It works! Good luck!

As MTs you are no doubt aware that at least 344 people in 18 states have been infected by fungal meningitis and 25 have died so far. I wonder if these families are concerned that drug safety regulations and enforcement are bad for business? This contaminated steroid is linked back to a compancy, NECC, in Massachusetts. The Massachusetts Department of Health released documents dating back more than a decade that revealed a series of regulatory citations invol ...

More Americans might be accepting of President Barack Obama's zealous push to flood the country with refugees from war-torn parts of the world, if only he, along with federal and state officials, were more transparent about the entire process. Like for instance being up front with Americans about the health threat posed by many of these refugees. Breitbart News is reporting that officials at the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, county health departments throughout the ...

I'm always facinated at some people who think all social problems and situations are so black and white.Abortion is here to stay, whether it's legal or not, just like it's always been an option when a woman finds herself facing the impossible situation of an unwanted pregnancy.

Vet told us milk has to be dried up before they can fix her. However, she is a stray and she has been going out walking around the neighborhood like she has ...

Okay, here is a question that I have not seen come up here. While watching news today this just crossed my mind. If the government sets an insurance rate you have to pay based upon what you make per year, do they take into account all your other bills, and that sometimes as ICs we don't get any work coming in at times, and then what they set is more than what you can afford (i.e. more money than your paycheck and you still have to pay all your bills). As ICs I'm sure ...

Due to huge fibroids, bilateral ovarian cysts, and a myriad of symptoms, I've been told I need a TAH. Doctor tells me I'll be out of work 6 weeks but as I'm an MT and just sit at my desk anyway, I don't see a 6-week absence as being necessary. Has anyone here had a TAH as an MT or with a desk job and how long was it necessary for you to be off work? ...

I have a fenced in backyard and the neighbor is pretty close and their yard is also fenced in with a separate fence, not even joining mine. So, yesterday, beautiful day, I decide to lay out in the sun. I park m ...

Hi everyone, I absolutely love Swarovski Crystal, in particular their earrings. I have a couple of pairs that I paid full price for, but they are too expensive. (Earrings run from $60-$300+.) I saw that E-Bay has a really nice selection, and you can just do a Buy Now for way under market price--I'm not into the bidding thing, BTW. Thing is, how do I REALLY know it's Swarovski? Some of their jewelry is signed, and some of those posts say so, but not all their jewelry is signed ...
