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!

My 4 month old’s ear was red on the inside and his brother and mother kept licking and cleaning it. so we went to the vet and he said it was a fungi ear infection and put him on drops for 10 days. but I was just wondering how the lil guy could have got this and if I should watch mom & brother. if they can catch it from him.
He is a Lab. hasn’t been in water or had a bath in a month. no other health issues.
the vet said not to clean his ears until he was done with the drops.
also can my other 2 dogs catch this from him?

Is there a place in Japan (near Tokyo/Saitama) where I can buy NIZORAL? I wish to buy the Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 1% or 2% Ketoconazole. Whichever.

Japan is a 1st world country… why don’t they sell Nizoral (or Head n’ Shoulders) anywhere? HELP!

I don’t have PayPal nor credit cards, so I think I’ll have problems if I buy it online. Although I’m willing to do it if they’ll deliver it here in Japan. But I tried Amazon.com and saw that it’ll take more than a month for my order to come. Other sites won’t take payments other than thru credit cards/PayPal… Other don’t send internationally at all. Not acceptable.

I need a place in/near Tokyo/Saitama that sells Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 1% or 2% Ketoconazole.
Thanks to Kumo~hime! I’ve been browsing through the link you gave me and it’s awesome!

I guess while I still haven’t figured out how to get stuff online (which would not take a month), I can try going to that Ueno station store and see if they have Nizoral. I really don’t want Head & Shoulders anymore, it’s making it worse. Plus, Nizoral makes hair grow back. Yes it’s scientifically proven, go search it online.

The shedded skin is hanging from my turtle’s head and it’s a little opaque & white. When it extends its head, there’s a layer of shedded skin on its neck that hasn’t come off yet. When I looked it up, it said that shedded skin is almost transparent and thin? It’s a tiny bit fuzzy [but idk if it's just the water] and in big pieces. How long does it take to shed?

Hehe sorry, paranoid new turtle owner >.<

I was diagnosed with Tinea Versicolor and was given a prescription of ketoconazole. So far, it’s been a week since I stopped treatment & I haven’t seen a difference. But usually it can take up to weeks before seeing any results.

I know most people who live in warm, humid environments are usually prone to it, and the fungus thrives in warm weather. I work-out and take warm showers, am I helping the infection return?
I’ve tried both Nizoral and Selsun Blue shampoo

Me&my boyfriend had anal and vaginal sex. He putted it in my anus just for couple seconds and then put it back in my vagina. it was unprotected. and i heard i could get an infection. Is there any foods i should eat or any way i could cure it if i have an infection? I need help, doctors isn’t an option for me.

Products I have tried…

Head & Shoulders - not helpful
Nizoral/ ketoconazole shampoo - completely dries out the scalp
herbal oils - temporary help

I want to know if I should see oral surgeon or is this from all the procedures and infection in that area? Are there therapies or something for this pain?
