So I don’t know if it’s ringworm or a yest infection I try antifungal cream but it’s way too painful and usually comes back anyway with no change. Taking showers does help and yeah if I hadn’t taken a shower in so long it really will become red and itch even more. And if it’s active the antifungal cream hurts so it’s difficult to put on. I am thinking of trying antifungal tablets so it doesn’t hurt. Does this sound good?

    I had a doctor tell me yest infection and told me to get diaper rash cream which doesn’t hurt but I can’t really tell if it worked.

      Cool. Well, fungus thrives in damp, so once you get clean make sure you dry off thoroughly, and there’s more than one antifungal drug used in creams, if one bothers you maybe try another? I really don’t know if the pills would work, if the doctor recommended topical treatment.
