stay away from sugars, starches, antibiotics and (at least in my case) prednisone and inhaled steroids.
Tea tree oil on the feet after washing with antiseptics to prevent fungal infections. The azole prescription meds are what put me into adrenal insufficiency and they are not an option for those with Addison's. Tea tree oil shampoos also help with the dandruff, also a fungal infection. Andrew Lessman supplements, available at www.hsn.com, the home shopping network on TV, are the best. Lessman, a biochemist and former FDA lawyer, does his research and provides the real product needed.
I am a diabetic and have been running very high blood sugars when I have been on the many antibiotics and Prednisone. I am now experiencing some neuropathy in my hands and feet - do not know if it is related to my mysterious condition or a result of the long periods of high blood sugar. Would appreciate any input. Thanks !!!!
The most likely triggers for acute urticaria are allergies to pets, horses, latex and foods, such as shellfish and nuts, bee or wasp stings, allergies to medicines, Viral infections, such as glandular fever and herpes, dental and sinus infections, fungal infections, blood transfusions and vaccines.
The cause of chronic urticaria is often more difficult to identify.
In July I did have a fungal infection in my mouth and throat; my doc suspects it was opportunistic and I have been immuno compromised.
We still don't know what the black gunk is that I'm coughing up, and I've had black gunk in my ear too. I tested negative for TB, and and I'm waiting to get a CT scan on my neck (and head) to see what the lump on my larynx is.
Meanwhile I am on an antibiotic to kill this sinus infection.
After several ear drops of various kinds an ENT prescribed nystatin cream rather than drops for a fungal infection that I have had off and on for about a year. Although the cream is awkward to put into ear canal with a Q tip, then have to kind of press down on the ear to get it to go deeper in (ask your doctor regarding this maneuver), it seems to be working. Once I was able to get the cream to go deeper into the canal, the discomfort from the fungi is subsiding.

It most certainly cannot regrow hair if you have thyroid and adrenal malfunctions. I used prednisone and inhaled steroids and for COPD, It not only resulted in hair loss, but CAUSED me to have an adrenal problem. I got off that junk and now rely on natural anti-inflammatories.
Hello,
From the symptoms that both of you are having the same symptoms and itching, contagious diseases like scabies and fungal infections need to be ruled out. Until and unless it is confirmed that it is a fungal infection, you should not use topical and oral antifungals. I suggest you to consult a dermatologist and get KOH examination of the skin scrapings done.
I have been having yeast infections for the last 2 yeast off and on, been to many docs and still cant get them to stay away. I have been on flygal, diflucan, creams and all why do they keep comeing back what can i do to keep them away? PLEASE HELP!
Hello,
Yes fungal infections causing angular cheilitis can cause inflammation and burning and itching at the genitalia also.But for that pls use some antifungal like nystatin, miconazole, tolnaftate, terbinafine,ketaconazole and clotrimazole.You can consult a pharmacist and get any cream or lotion containing these ingredients. Some of them are Lamisil, Monistat derm, Mycelex, and Nizoral.
If the symptoms persist then STD’s have to be ruled out.

I would not be concerned about someone taking prednisone having sex and passing it to their partner. Are you allergic to prednisone for why you are asking?
If you were truly hypo (and you would have had to have blood tests for that), rather than just some similar to the oxycodene side effects (see wikipedia), and you had thyroid medication and the Prednisone, then there is a good chance your hair will come back, after your hypo levels stabilised.
I think what has happened in your case, is that your pain relief medication, Oxycodone has had some issues in side effects very similar to being hypo.
You mention a yeast infection in another post, and yeast infections are common with antibiotics. Prednisone is used for internal swelling, allergic reactions, arthritis, those types of things. It heads off inflammation.
White/skin color bumps all over face and neck. Been there for about 6 weeks and just keep getting worse. They itchy badly and seemed to spread daily. This started after a viral infection about 6 weeks ago. They almost look like pimples but they are not. Have tried benadryl, hydrocortisone, calamine lotion and even prescription eczema cream. Nothing helps. They only spread on me and dont seem contagious to anyone else in my house.
ve been on multiple medications including the normal meds for treating common STDs and Bacterial infections, fungal infections, prednisone and muscle relaxers. Only potential encounter is unprotected oral over 2 years ago.
• The worst pain I have in sitting, mainly back of the thighs (feels like rope burn or skin stretching). Almost always below the glut folds but can radiate to glutes and lower back.
fungus likes moist damp areas which is why the most common fungal infections occur between the toes and in the groin area. by leaving your dentures in and not properly caring for them .you have made a perfect breeding ground. did you tell your dentist of your lack of hygiene? diabetics tend to have more yeast infections so you might want to check that out too. good luck and this time follow your dentists instructions!
I just finished taking Prednisone 2 days ago. And now I have a yeast infection. Is it safe to take Fluconazole now?
I have tried elidel, protopic, tons of steroid creams, oitments, doxycycline, PUVA, epicream, prednisone and steroid injections. The only things that work are the injections and prednisone, but the immidiate side effects of prednisone are too much (face swelling ect...). Is there anything else I can do?!!?!?
Dear Dr,
I have a mixed bag of questions and appreciate if you could possibly answe some for me.
Question #1. Is there a real blood test out there to test for systemic candida fungal infections, and if so what is this called? Is systemic Candida something MD"s feel really exists or is it something that is a myth?
Question #2 Can it be possible to test negative for antibodies several years and still possibly have an autoimmune disorder?
