Can u get tinea capitis (fungal scalp infection) from tinea pedis (athlete’s foot) or tinea Unguium (fungal infection of the toenail)? Is it the same fugus 4 these infections? cuz my BF has athletes foot & the fungal infection in his toenails. & the gross thing is he always has to put his feet on the pillows, which I constantly tell him not 2. & now, at 1st I thought I was getting pimples on my scalp, but now along with that I have like crusty spots on my scalp, sometimes they itch just a little (Iknow its not dandruff. I dunno what color it is cuz my hair is in the way. However, I got a little red crusty textured skin spot just under my nose. I heard Selsin blue shampoo can kill some fungal skin infections, so I have been using it 4 my scalp and that spot under my nose. It has almost completely cleared up under my nose & also helped for my scalp.This is tinea capitis right? Did I get it from his feet?Do u think the shampoo will kill it or should I get meds 4 it?wut else may be best?

I need to know where I can buy a Candida A4 graph exercise book. I live around Liverpool, Sydney, Australia. If you need anymore details please ask.

Condition began apx 5 years ago under eyebrows, spread to painful cracking behind ears. Assumed "barber’s itch". Progressed to sides of nostrils, throughout moustache and beard around chin. Shaving area around mouth causes bright red inflammation & bleeding, so usually keep goatee. Most recently spreading into ear canals and nostrils, also beginning to cover eyelids. Have treated with ketoconazole (antifungal) and hydrocortisone (which irritates it). No pimples or itching; just flaking, cracking and pain (esp. behind ears). Grossed out yet? I am - very grateful for any help!!!

Okay, so I have had really bad dandruff. I have very short hair(around 1.5cm) in length. When it gets a little longer the dandruff seems to worsen slightly. I am in my teens and a male.

I have used Head&Shoulders products.

I have also used over-the-counter prescription strength shampoos like Nizoral shampoo which contains Ketoconazole as the active ingredient.

I have begun trying other methods such as brushing my hair incredibly vigorously about once a week. It seems to get a good portion of the dandruff out however I would like to see a long-term solution.
Enough with the whole "use Selson Blue" crap. I have already used 5 other prescription strength shampoos. They obviously aren’t working.

And don’t bother saying visit your doctor. It doesn’t take a genius to know that is an option.

I am looking more along the lines of other methods.

My doc suspected I had systemic yeast in my stomach whein I went to her complaining of chronich sinus infection & post nasal drip. I tried the diet for this past month and it works. I just don’ want to have to do this forever. The only supplements I’ve been taking are grapefruit seed extract & acidophilus. They’re supposed to get rid of the yeast as well. But are there any other supplements I can take to get rid of the yeast? I’ve heard of Candex & ThreeLac. Does anything else work? Or do I have to stay on the diet for ever?

Allow me to explain..
Well, I had really wonderful skin all through high school.
This past summer, before beginning my first semester at college, I developed this hard bump on my chin area.
It wasn’t the kind of bump that has anything in it && will eventually pop by itself. It was just hard and it was just there and I thought it would go away eventually. I really didn’t have a regimen. I had been eating junk food for the longest time && never had any troublesome acne before that point. It started to spread to the right of my chin around my jaw line. Not cool. I never thought that people could get acne on their jaw before. o.O It’s rather annoying. I only ever had a few bumps on my forehead. Eventually, I got really bad acne around my mouth and my chin got worse. Now, I also have it on the sides of my face. It’s like little, red, enflamed blocked pores everywhere on my face. Actually, my forehead is pretty clear. I only have a few flesh-colored bumps there. Everywhere else is so red, especially my jaw line and around my mouth and I feel obligated to wear makeup to go out in public. This has really affected me emotionally by the way. I am at the point of my life where I am beginning a new transition and meeting new people and I feel the need to impress. I definitely feel hindered at impressing anyone because of the way I look. I definitely do not like wearing makeup. It feels really uncomfortable to me, but I have to. I just do. I don’t even think I know how to put it on correctly, but I try anyway. I have been to the dermatologist twice. The first time she prescribed Ovace Face Wash, Metrogel, and Ziana. A week ago, I went in and she prescribed Ketoconazole Tablets (I think she believes the acne is from too much yeast) and Salicylic Acid 6 & Lotion as a moisturizer (Which I find relatively sticky and makes it all the more difficult to apply my makeup after.) I would have thought that most of my acne would have calmed down by now and vanished since I got it all the way back in like.. May, but unfortunately, that’s not the case. I supplement with Fish Oil, Pantothenic Acid, a Multivitamin, Zinc, and my recent addition — Vitamin D3. Pretty much, I am at my wit’s end. I wish I never tried any commercial products such as Proactiv. That thing must have started all of my problems. Don’t ever try it! The sad thing is, when I tried it I had like one little invisible pimple on my forehead. I used to love taking pictures of myself and just updating my profile picture every week on myspace/facebook. Now, my picture is from like two years ago. I, seriously, refuse to have my picture taken. I don’t feel like socializing at all. I really want to go on dates. I have the opportunity to go on dates. People actually like me for my personality apparently. But even so, I still won’t go on dates with people because I absolutely despise the way I look and I don’t want people to see me at my worst. I know for people without acne, you won’t understand. You’ll just think I’m throwing this way out of proportion. A lot of my friends (Who, of course, never experienced the problem of acne), think I’m being a little too dramatic, but they never had it, so what would they know about it?! It really is emotionally and socially wrecking. Instead of focusing on school work and researching on google for a class or two, I would be found googling to look up new solutions for my acne situation. I cannot even think in my classes. I know a lot of people go through life with acne and are absolutely fine. Well, I know some of those people, but their acne is not bright red and all over the place like mine. They look pretty normal. I would like to have that kind of acne instead. It’s troubling that it is around my mouth because that’s an important place to keep clear and sometimes newer acne hurts and makes it difficult for me to open my mouth and eat something. I have to like, nibble. It’s terrible. Also, I have always washed my face twice a day and now I am on a regimen so the hygiene factor was not a problem either. I am also using progesterone cream instead of birth control for any hormone imbalance. Also, I have been drinking Kombucha tea for the probiotioc benefits. I am at a loss because I am trying so much and have been so patient, but nothing much is happening. It just seems like it’s getting worse! And I’m afraid that if it ever stops being pimples, that there will be red marks everywhere and I’ll have to wear makeup all of the time, no fun. Well, any comments/suggestions/advice would be much appreciated. I’m sorry that my details were like a book. Thanks for reading, if you did!
