Would one of those oral thrush tablets work for underarm thrush ??

A few weeks ago I developed a very sore patch of skin in my left armpit. The skin has sort of just disintergrated and left a weepy sore.

I treated it with Canestan and it went but now I have a rash under my arm and under my arm always feels sticky and a bit itchy.

Have googled and apprently it is thrush. I really don't have time to go to the gp at the mo so was wondering if taking one of those oral thrush tablets will work ???

well i should think that they will because they are systemic anti fungals arent they, you would take them for thrush down there wouldnt you so i dont see why not.

Oh good, will get some then.

God knows why I suddenly have thrush there though, that is a mystery.

Umm at the mo I am using rightguard i think. I have to change my deoderant often as I sweat alot and they don't work after a while.

I sound lovely don't I, sweaty and mouldy

Actually i think my awful diet might be the cause.

oooh ohh i sweat ALLOT and hate it and i have just found some brill stuff its called "persipeX", its atiny little bottle, got it from boots (expensive..about £6) but you only need to use it about 3 times a week.
I have been completely dry, its brill.

you need to get rid of the thrush first before you use it but i highly recommend it.
Ive been using it for about a week now (only had to use it 3 times since last Friday though)

Have tried Perspirex and the other one but they seem to stop working after a while. I sweat alot all over tbh, it is a big problem but from what I have read it is something that I just have to put up with. Gets me down though.

I am planning a big diet change as I am sure this is the cause of alot of problems I am having at the mo.

I seem to have a thrush-type rash under my norks, and being pg might be to blame. I tried putting Canesten there but it doesn't seem to have worked, nor did talc. Any ideas??
