Re: Candida Rashes - any suggestions for treatment?

So that was a bad idea putting all that different stuff on the rashes (and trying to smother it under bandaids)!! They have totally spread and became infected. I'm even getting red spots on my stomach and all over and my arms are covered! And legs and my hand has a terrible one now. The doctor claims it is an allergic reaction and wanted me to take prednisone and I said no way. She then offered a prescription for hydrocortisone and to mix it with benedryl and aquaphor. I'm afraid to use it!! My skin is totally raw on my one arm and I don't know if I want this crap going into my bloodstream! Do you think it is safe? Plus, what if it is a candida rash and this could make it worse? She did take a swab of it, but I won't know for a while. I totally screwed up and made things way worse.
