Will Use Of Nyamyc Nystatin Topical Powder Help In Treating Yeast Infection?
I have had this yeast infection for almost a year. We have tried many prescribed and over the counter aids. My doctor prescribed Nya Myc Nystatin Topical. Do you think this will clear it up. It is under throll of my stomach, and sometimes on left side of my intersticols.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is an antifungal and can be used to treat topical fungal infections but if your infection is wide spread, it may be better to combine it with a 2 to 3 week course of an oral anti fungal.
In addition, your doctor may want to consider a swab of the area to find the exact fungus involved. The lab would also determine which medications would work best and give this information to your doctor.
That way you can be treated definitively
I hope this helps
