Infection under "tummy apron"
Julie
Derma, PCP, call it what it is. Yeast infection.
From my derma:
no cornstarch
no powder
they feed the yeast and make it thrive.
wash the area, dry it, apply an antifungal, such as Lotrimin or store brand, as found in the athlete's foot aisle.
repeat, 3x per day for a day or 3. All 3 steps.
Then twice/day as it begins to clear up.
Once you're safe again, never, ever miss a day.
But first, wash the live yeasties away. Dry to make inhospitable area. Apply a cream barrier to make sure new ones don't come in and mate with the old ones and multiply.
Just adding more cream without the wash/dry doesn't work. how do I know this?

P.S. My year + long absence has NOTHING to do with my WLS, or my type of WLS. See my profile.
you need a perscription but your doc should be able to do that.
I would get aninfection out that on a couple times a day and gone in less than 2 days.
