@secreto sure happy to share. Here’s the complete story ... My first outbreak, he gave me just mometasone 0.1% cream. It took several months of treatment and did clear up (mostly). Then round 2 came, I used the same cream to no avail. I went back to see him as I thought I was going to scratch my skin off. He then said he though I had a secondary yeast infection. As a nurse, I’ve treated a lot of yeast skin infections and it didn’t present like a classic looking case. But I trusted him. He gave me oral diflucan 150mg with a second dose 5 days later. Then added Mupirocin 2% cream. I mixed the two creams together for months 2x day. I stopped the Mupirocin when the aweful itching subsided - did an extra week just in case. (Yeast is sneaky and will come back.) I’m pretty close to having this outbreak cleared up (fingers crossed) and just down to the mometasone cream now. Hope that helps. 🙂 Everyone seems to have different stories and different successes.
