Re: Thank you #75147 low stomach acid was the missing link!

I've had skin itching for years, which I've always attributed to dry, "winter skin" or allergies and have treated with cortisone creams. It wasn't until I got an advanced case of skin candida that I made the connection that the skin itching was actually part of the yeast infection. When I get even the least indication of skin itching now, I treat it with an antifungal cream, and it has worked wonders! I'm now using a prescription topical antifungal, but if I were to look for a natural antifungal, I'd pick grapefruit seed extract or cold pressed coconut oil. (I tried teatree oil, but I was very allergic to it, probably because I'm allergic to trees in general.) Tweet
