It only takes a couple drops of urine with bacteria setting on the skin in a warm environment to produce a rash of yeast. Glenn has offered some great advice. Keeping the area clean and dry means the bacteria can not colonize. Best Wishes In a message dated 11/17/2011 6:34:52 P.M. Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
You probably have a yeast infection. I have learned that if I have a slight musty smell it is a yeast infection. I used to get a lot but use tea as a treatment and Lamisil as a preventive. Make 2 fresh brews of tea in the a.m., 3-4 ounces of water in a glass dish, one tea bag, any kind will do, microwave for about 30-45 seconds and leave it in the microwave to steep. Never use hot tea, allow it to steep with the tea bag in water at least 6 hours. We leave tea bag for a.m. in all day. If the tea bag shreds apart, take tea bag out after 6-8 hours. Yeast grows in a certain environment and the tea changes the ph of the skin. We wash the area with tea and put a small fan on the area for 1-2 minutes. You don't want to dry the skin too much. Yeast will stay in the skin for up to 2 weeks so I feel it important to stick with tea for a few weeks, sometimes I use it as a preventive. I also use Lamisil or Lotrimin as preventive.
