breast yeast infection

Thank you everyone, I have been using the medicated powder and eating lots of yogurt. Seems to be improving. Hopefully it will clear up completely, really dread going to doctors.

Thanks again

You can also use any kind of athletes foot cream. tinactin works well. Apply at night and again in the morning. Also, take a clean, soft, white t-shirt and cut strips from it. Use a strip tucked in your bra, under your boobs when you are exercising or when you know you'll be sweating a lot. This helps prevent the rash from getting out of control.

I found that soaking my bras in 1 part water to 1 part (White vinegar only) kills the yeast in your bra and prevent re-infection. I use 1-1/2 cups of white vinegar and 1-1/2 cups of water in a gallon ziplock bag for at least 1 hour. Wash as usual. Do not wear a bra more then once between soaking and washing. Also use monistat cream.

This may sound kinda weird I know yogurt should help with yeast infections but with me it actully causes my yeast infections under my breasts. I think it may be the dairy part of it, since milk and cheese do the same thing.

I have tried the creams but they create moisture so they don't help much for me I use baby powder to keep the skin dry.

I am currently using a cream called called Nystatin and triamcinolone acetonide cream which was rx'ed by a doctor. It has worked wonders. Also avoid the medicated powder as this can aggravate the problem. Use an unscented powder...perhaps they have one in the yeast/athletes foot isle. Good luck!
