[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 487395, member: 1233"] I am sorry you have to deal with this, but glad the doctor was able to help. I have a friend with it and she has had great help from some lotion made by Eucerin that says it is a calming lotion - not sure hte entire name but she uses that in between flares and it really helps her. She also did the yeast control diet and found it was helpful. She did NOT do the diet permanently, but did if for about 4-6 weeks and then tried the foods not allowed and had no problems with it for a while. When hers gets bad she cuts out all the foods that feed the yeast (seems to me to be cutting out sugars and anything artificial and yeast breads) and it helps. Her doctor doesn't think the diet helps but he is not the type to think your diet has much impact on your health other than cholesterol and weight. I am NOT saying to do the yeast diet - I have NO clue if it really works or not. It is just what she does. I do know that it seems to be not a lot of fun. I hope you can get help and have it not cause so many problems and not keep you from doing the things you want to do. I know it can feel really bad to have people keeps stopping you to tel you how to handle a skin care problem. My psoriasis causes huge sores that don't heal for far longer than any type or sore, infection or scrape, and it really really really annoys me when total strangers stop me and tell me to put this or that on it. I have been know to very sweetly suggest remedies to help their appearance for the people who are very insistent. Most make a suggestion and leave it alone, but some will follow me or try to actually hold me in place or block me if I try to walk away. That gets to me like nothing else. Those who just say something and let it go, I am polite to and say thank you and I go away from them, but the others? I have been known to get pretty outrageous in a very sweet, caring tone of voice. It just makes me so upset, and I am sure you feel the same way. If strangers comment on it and won't let it go, or they follow you around a store to tell you how to fix it, it is very much OK to be rude and tell them to go away. I try not to do this, but skin problems seem to make some people feel they have the right to follow you and ask super rude nosy questions and expect you to not just answer the questions but to be grateful for their "help".
