2 different doctors diagnosed me with having a yeast infection on my chest and left arm. Tried different creams and lotions and antibiotics with no relief. I have started using calamine lotion just to relieve the itch. I have a dermatologist appt on Tuesday but I need to get this under control. Please help!!!

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

I have gone through your complaints and for a yeast infection you need a course of oral and topical anti-fungal medicines. I would recommend you to apply Clotrimazole cream on the affected areas twice daily and take tablet Fluconazole once weekly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
