I think my usual Dr is on maternity leave so it was her partner who saw me yesterday. My previous Dr said what was on my arms was Eczema. This one said it was yeast and prescribed me an antifungal cream. How common is it to get yeast on the skin like that?
I had been using TTO on it to see if it would help and I noticed it itched less with the TTO.
I wonder if Gentian Violet would be as effective in treating it as the antifungal cream? Its just weird to me. If its not better when I go for my checkup I guess theyll send me to the dermatologist. :shrug

How much oils are you taking? I would start taking flax twice a day tsp at a time. Then if that doesn't help add some fish oil or borage or primerose oil.

Im taking 1000 mg of flax oil a day right now and im going to try what you suggested. Maybe It needs to be upped a little.

you can also place evening primerose on it topically...that is supposed to help.
