I'm into holistic approaches to healing. Now, I will say, I have a good friend that was suffering with a candida overgrowth and he went to a regular doctor who gave him a steroid shot of some sort and it cleared up the skin problems he had from candida over growth. I myself try to avoid the doctors. I'm not going to comment on your doctor, but just share with you what I am currently doing and for which I am seeing results within days of doing. Hope this might be of help to you.
