Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

No not bread, sourdough starter. They can be very old. The first one I had about 40 years ago came from Texas and the original I guess you would call it, parent, starter was over 100 years old at the time.

We used to deal with yeast infections under breasts all the time where I worked back in IL. Mostly in women who were well endowed and not wearing bras. Key is to keep underside of breasts dry and comfy. I wear front fastening sports bras and use some talc. No problems.

I believe what you are dealing with, Granny can be treated with a topical antifungal.

This came up when I did a search for Candida parapsilosis under breasts

Treatment for a yeast infection under your breasts may include an antifungal medication. Your healthcare provider may recommend an antifungal cream, ointment or other solution. You can buy many antifungal creams over-the-counter.
...
Topical antifungal medications include:

1. Miconazole.
2. Nystatin.
3. Clotrimazole.

Make sure you wash your hands good so you don't spread it and until your doctor prescribes a treatment, keep your chaloobies-tatas-bazooms-washed gently, patted dry and you can fold some soft wash cloths and put them under your breasts if you don't wear a bra. I would recommend that you get some comfy sports bras to wear that you can fasten or pull on yourself to keep things from contacting skin under your breasts. You have a warm moist growing field there for yeast infections.

As for the labs, yes, medications can cause abnormal labs. So can simple things like age and being overweight. Our kidney function begins to decline when we are around 30 believe it or not.

Ive tried all those meds. MC wash cloth too. It in all the places not just breasts

The idea is to keep the underside of your breasts from touching any other skin causing warmth and dampness from sweat to allow the yeast infection a place to grow. We dealt with it a lot. Gently washed the area. Patted dry then applied a thin coat of an RX salve we got from the doctor. Then folded wash cloths in half and place them under the breasts in women who were bedfast and not in a bra. It worked. A soft sports bra would do the same thing. The idea being not to let skin touch skin. Except for the salve you would want to keep the areas as dry as possible to promote healing and stop the irritation.

Our Richard has tried it all. Being in a wheelchair makes it impossible to heal. Poor kid. I used to see a lot of different things when I worked as a CNA too.. in a nursing home then Assisted Living. One of the hardest things to keep well..rashes.

I'm doing OK. Pretty excited about something that I got to do church related today. Also, Austin came with me to help pick out carpet..I ended up getting something other than he pointed out. lol.. I should take pictures..of the carpet that is down now and one of the piece I brought home to see in the room.

 

[Cynthia12]

Check out those roses! The gal that lived in here before us had a certain taste. Looks like something my grandmother had back in the day. The piece if carpet sample is actually less brown looking and more silver in real. I just gave that dresser away to one of my grandchildren. They need to hurry and pick it up. I'm ordering my carpet soon.

 

[Cynthia12]

Oh..and I just threw that blue carpet down to try and hide some...roses.
