Hello

Thanks for posting your query. I can understand your concern. I reviewed the pictures.

You seem to be having an eczema associated with yeast infection. The other possible diagnosis is lichen planus.

I would like to know a few details -

1. Since how long is it present?

2. Is it on any other parts of the body?

3. Is it itchy?


I would recommend application of cortisone cream mixed with clotrimazole cream twice a day for two weeks.

Please let me know the answers to my queries.

Take care

Hello


Thanks for your reply.

I understand your concern. I would recommend application of creams as i suggested. Also oral anti fungal like fluconazole will be helpful in resolving the yeast infection.

Take care
