Resolved question:
I have yeast infection under my breasts. I keep it at bay for the most part by cleaning the area with vinegar every day. I hate using the antifungal cream bc I am scared it will seep through my shirt somehow (stupid....I know). I woke up this morning and realized in the middle of the night that I scratched it and touched my bed and lord knows what else. Is it highly contagious? Do you think I spread it? What if I put my hands in my face? I have asthma as well and I am worried about breathing issues too if I rubbed my nose or mouth. Do I have anything to worry about?

Hello,
Thanks for your query at DoctorSpring.com.
I understand your concern.
Are you sure you have a fungal infection? What are the symptoms? How does it look like?
If it is a fungal infection you are highly advised to get it treated instead of applying vinegar. Without antifungal creams, it will not resolve and will spread to the other parts and may be contagious. Twice daily application for a week is sufficient.
Hope it helps.
