Old Aged, Having Red Rash Under Breast, Treated For Yeast Infection, No Relief, Bedridden. Solution?
i have a resident who has had a red rash under her left breast. the doctors have treated it as if it were a yeast infection...antibiotics, fungal cream, wash with epsom salts and water...its not getting better. it has spread from under the breast, to her left side. i think that one time, the doctor prescribed a powder, and if i remember correctly, it healed the problem. the woman is a 83 yr. old, bedridden, incontinent of both bowel and bladder, poor appetite, and she loves potato chips and chocolate. this redness has gone on for 6 months...what do u suggest?

Hi dear
Welcome to the Health Care magic,
Considering her age and poor activity. rash not responding to any thing, it can be intertigo.
It should respond to steroidal cream say momatosone plus some antifungal cream for a month or so.
Keep the area dry and clean.
Hope your query is answered.
Thanks
