I like a few others on this forum, have been scratching, and itching. I had my 6 month follow up today, with my PCP, and told him about it. I showed him the pink spot under my arm, in my pit, and so forth. I told him I have been an itchy girl with dry skin, but this is silly. now behind my ears is itchy, and the skin can crack open. He said "its yeast" very common in the increase of heat, and where skin may have a chance to stay moist. I do normally have dry skin itch, but this goes way beyond that. He gave me an anti yeast cream, and said it would be dramatically better in 3 to 5 days.

Has anyone else been told its yeast? I am looking forward to not diggin in my pit in the middle of the night. He said it was nothing I did wrong, or anything my diet kicked off. its just one of those things, and he is seeing a large increase in the amount of yeast patients this year. must be a seasonal or regional thing.

he said some of the over the counter yeast products may help, like lotromin, or things like that, if someone cant afford the MD visit.

Whew. I feel relieved that this can be over with.
