helpp advice on what to do about bad yeast infection on skin?OK I think what I have is a yeast infection. It felt like one at first but now the issue has spread to almost my thights in that spot where my leg begins and it folds, the crease. It is the worst on one side in that area. It looks really red and really bad and its not going away. I have been using cream for a fungal infection plus plain yogurt on it. How long will it take to go away???? It looks like this:

on my SKIN. It is not really itchy it just feels sore like a rash and hurts slightly to touch it.
Do I need to go to the doctor for this or is there some stronger medication I can request from the pharmacy?? OR do I just need to be more patient???
for the past 3 months every infection I get goes out of control. First it was my wisdom tooth that caused an infection with my gums then I got a sore throat which spread into a bad case of tonsillitis that was not going away and now this. I have never had a yeast infection get out of control like this ughhhhh...
If anyone has had an experience like this and what did you do and how did you treat it or get rid of it.
Maybe it is not even a yeast infection but what else could it be?
Thanks.
by the way that picture isnt me but it kinda looks like that. The reason I think it is a yeast infection is because I have had them before and it started off as any usual one... the part on the inside seems to have gone away it just got out of control and spread to the leg crease and that part and the rash isnt going away. I don't know, maybe its something else.

it doesn't sound like a yeast infection to me ... if it is a yeast infection you would be having a discharge that looks like cottage cheese and is kinda yellowish ... and it would smell like bread (lol yeast is yeast haha) if it is a yeast infection, get some monistat (the one day one you'll want to kill yourself at the end of the week, if you get the week one)
it sounds more like a fungal infection to me ... I think you're right to be putting antifungal cream on it ... but I would check with a doctor ... it sounds kinda like jock itch (girls can get it too) most jock itch medicines are over the counter these days though so just get a really good one and make sure you're wearing cotton undies and whatnot

I work in a pharmacy and if it is a yeast type infection and you are using a product like clotrimazole or miconazole (Canesten or Micatin) and have been using it twice daily for a week or so with no improvement you should go see a dr. You might need stronger strength cream and possible some level of steroid for the redness which would require a prescription, or it might not be a yeast infection. Most likely though it looks like a form of "jock-itch" caused by a fungal infection, but occasionally, bacterial organisms may cause infection on top of the fungal infection of jock itch. This new infection may become chronic if left untreated and may keep coming back in certain people. Jock itch must be distinguished from these skin problems: Chronic irritation of skin folds ,psoriasis, contact dermatitis
, erythrasma - A reddish brown rash or eczema. So theres some information, but go to the Dr!
