I started having a very itchy rash on my upper chest last fall (nowhere else, just the upper chest). I tried everything I could think of and then saw my doc. He said it was a yeast infection and prescribed an over the counter anti fungal cream and a 3-day rx antifungal. Didn’t work. Then he did a 5 day rx. Then 7. Then 10 plus a rx antifungal cream. Then another 10 days of both. Nothing cleared it. My doc threw up his hands and referred me to a dermatologist, who can’t get me in until late May. I was in absolute misery and in no position to wait over a month for help.
I did a deep dive on Dr Google and found out I have a major candida overgrowth in my gut. The only way to get rid of it is to go on a candida cleanse. I tried another one and it helped a bit but not much. I saw the reviews for this one, specifically the person who said this worked for their husband’s rash. I’m 5 days in and the rash is nearly gone. Not completely, but we’re getting there! I am, at least, not in a constant state of itchy misery. The itch is completely gone and the skin has gone from angry, bumpy red to nearly smooth and a darker tan color (like tan skin instead of sunburned). It’s definitely working!
Fair warning…. The one down side to this cleanse is that it makes you feel like hot garbage for several days. Think flu-like symptoms. But that means it’s working and this is totally normal (per Dr Google).
I’ll update at the end to let you know if it completely cleared the rash. But at least I have hope!!
