How Can Candidiasis Be Treated?
Hi, i have done plenty of research online to find out what condition i may have. Ive come to the conclusion that I believe its Candidiasis of the Skin. It started in the fold under my right breast and it has spread to the other breast and now im getting patches on my neck, back, stomach, chest. They are all very small except the one under my right breast is a lot bigger then the rest. It is very itchy and irritating. I have been washing my skin with Nizoral which a friend had recommended i do. And then i spray them with a powder athletes feet spray. It seems like the big patch is getting better but i keep finding new spots. Any recommendations to treating this?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Generalized Candidiasis can be treated with antifungal medications, however first of all you need to get checked for the reasons of low immunity that commonly cause an attach of fungus.
You should consult a Skin specialist or a Physician and get evaluated and blood sugar check should be done at first.
Treating the under lying cause is a must followed by antifungal medications like oral intake of Fluconazole, Itraconazole and topical application of antifungal ointments like Lotrimin , Clotrimazole eTC.
Maintain a meticulous physical hygiene.
