 Skin fungal infections long after Augmentin?
Well I'm enduring my 2nd yeast infection "down there" in five weeks. I was on Augmentin in December and believe that this triggered the fungal activity. Being overweight and IR doesn't help, of course. Still, I do not have a history of these infections. I didn't even realize how bad it had gotten...was just getting some itching and burning in the vicinity and decided to find a mirror and take a look. Oh my! 
I put on some topical antifungal last night (helped a little) and called dr. today; I'll be starting Diflucan this afternoon. Right now I can't even put on underwear and skin is VERY red, irritated. I'm stuck at home on a Saturday now. I've been washing gently during showers and using a hairdryer set on Cold to get everything dry afterwards. Any other suggestions for helping get this cleared up?
