Alvis,
I had a few severe yeast infections, also accompanied by warts, while taking cipro, Flagyl and Entocort. The yeast infections were very resistant to treatment until I rotated off cipro and Flagyl and onto Xifaxin. Xifaxin isn’t systemically absorbed, hence your skin bacteria has the opportunity to regenerate and the repopulation serves to stifle the yeast infection. Yeast infections of the skin, in those taking antibiotics, according to my dermatologist, are due to fungi filling the space previously occupied by deceased skin bacteria killed by the antibiotics. Once the normal bacteria of the skin is restored, the empty spaces are filled.
I wasted around 3-4 months fighting a yeast infection in my groin and leg area with assorted topical creams and powders. Rotating onto Xifaxin and taking diflucan antifungal pills, prescribed by my dermatologist, knocked it out in 3 weeks. Once the Fungi dies, your skin is still red for a while but becomes scaly and flaky like the aftermath of a sunburn. Once all that peels away, your skin is back to normal.
