Candida, seborrheic dermatitis, scurf

[Vandemolen]

I know that some people said earlier that candida might be the cause of POIS. I don't think so. But in my case candida could be caused by POIS. As a sympton. I have seborrheic dermatitis. Mainly on my head after an O. I have scurf. And also seborrheic dermatitis around my nose. It could be that I also have seborrheic dermatitis around my p. and my prostate. Maybe it's not UTI, but seborrheic dermatitis.

Is there somebody else who has scurf and bumps around the nose?

I had issues with candida about a year ago, and when those symptoms were the worst I had a rash that developed on and around my scrotum. There was no official diagnosis, and nothing helped it very much except anti-fungal cream, which helped a moderate amount. The rash went away when I no longer had digestive issues because of candida (antifungals, and a strict diet)

With onset of POIS, I also developed Seb Dermatitis. Affects scalp, forehead, cheeks. Used be very severe in latter Teenage years and 20's and flared on 'O'. Also used have on Chest and thighs, and always triggered by 'O' and then any direct sun exposure.

Avoidance of both, along with anti-fungal and steroid creams has made symptoms of the Seb derm manageable now.

Not knowledgeable enough to comment on Candida.

About a few weeks I am going to try Trisporal (Itraconazole). Did someone of you also tried that? But ask your doctor first beacuse of the side effects.

I just did a test for candida with my doctor and that came up negative. If it is candida there will be very strong evidence in the mouth  and on tongue.

If you get tested, apparently the blood IgG test is the most reliable.   I received my results about a week ago and everything came back negative for candida except for the blood test.   I got a script for fluconazole/Diflucan 150mg to take 1x per week for 4 weeks.  That's the antifungal that is recommended most.   Just note that it's supposed to be pretty bad for the liver so be careful.   I also take agrisept which is a terrible tasting naturopathic remedy that's also effective for weight loss.  You'll want to avoid sugars as much as possible when trying to clear up candida, take probiotics for sure and drink lots of water...
