fungal infection of the face
    #23415763 - 07/06/16 01:37 AM (7 years, 6 months ago)

Ever since going on antibiotics for a while last year ive had a fungal overgrowth.
Rashes on the groin, fungal toenails, rashes on the jawline.

Now its spreading to my face. Ive tried systematic antifungals to no effect and ive lost faith in doctors.

If it gets much worse i think i might shoot myself.

Thank you

Sounds like a couple weeks outdoors in the desert would be good for you.

Sorry to here about your situation. I had rhus dermatitis internally once, so I can relate to your agony.

I'm sending positive vibes your way man.

Anon 3 is right heat, humidity, tight non-breathing clothes are all the problem. Take extra showers, use ISO on the crotch each night and try not to spread it around yourself (or others) too much by scratching and infected area then scratching a non-infected area, especially one that dosen't get lots of air and is prone to be sweaty. There are anti-viral drugs that will help but they are very expensive. The stuff over the counter is almost useless. Hot water will help temporarily to get rid of the itch and anti-itch creams will help. Main thing is keep the areas dry & clean. The bad news is you will likely have to live with it for the rest of your life, the good news is that with a little bit of ongoing maintenance it is no big deal, just don't lend your shoes to anyone.

A quick and easy treatment for this is dissolve sulfur in hot olive oil, let cool with stirring and apply liberally to affected areas. You can add  some copper and magnesium sulfate ground to a fine powder to it to make it even more effective. It's the sulfur dioxide released from the sulfur, copper and magnesium ions that get rid of the fungus.

antibiotics kill bacteria, not fungi.  antifungals kill fungi but OP says they haven't been working.

what probably happened is that the original antibiotics threw your natural skin fauna out of whack, allowing fungi that were normally present, but held in check by beneficial bacteria, to flourish. 

you need to get your normal balance of skin buggies back again... maybe get a close family member to rub a moist towel around their skin before letting you do the same???

Absolute genius.

This seems like the most likely cause.

Also sounds like a logical approach to solution. If op could spend a couple weeks to a month in the desert applying your treatment thrice daily I would be very interested to observe the results.

Just developed a 100% botanical herbal remedy (Niacinamide/Tea tree oil/Vit C/15 other essential oils) that cured my year long ringworm on my inner thigh - tried EVERYTHING even the antifungal pills. This finally worked. I'll send you some to try if you would like =/

I used to get nasty in grown hairs on my mustache and beard (grew one to hide the shit). I know it's apples to oranges but when I started applying tea tree oil to my face it stopped happening so much. I was scared for years to get rid of my beard since everyone looks at you sideways if you have a "facial deformity". Sometimes the simplest things can be the answer... check out some dermatologist Web pages while you wait on your appointment. I'm Caucasian and have fine hair but it curlyque'd. It doesn't really do it anymore and I work it into my beard once or twice a week. You sound young, this shit happens. Start with small things that may help and go up from there. You may accidentally be using something that exasperates your condition.

Tried something rather intersting,
so bascially the conditon is caused by antibiotic use, all the bacteria die and fungus overgrows.
So the only solution is restore the bacteria. This fungus is resistant to all antifungals I have tried.

So what i have done, is consume a healthy persons shit.
Also known as a fecal matter transplant.

I will continue to consume every day and see what happens.

this really is my last resort this disease is detroying my life

Well i remember the problems starting with an itching asshole, so i assume the fungi makes its base in your gut and it comes out your arse.
So kill the head and the body will follow is my hope

That way you get ringworm too, I had a very similar year and a half long infection I solved with a topical blend of essential oils and vitamins - never did eating people's feces ever come to mind.

Wow didnt see that coming.  But dont resort to suicide man.  Most people wont even care and the ones that do screw em.  you dont need to be around people that superficial anyways.

Im sorry I dont have any possible solutions to add to thos thread.  All I know is that one person I knew, who had similar issues, used bleach on the infected area and it cleared up somehow.  Now im not recommending that, I actually thought it to be pretty crazy when he told me, and I have no idea if ita safe or effective.  Just maybe something to look into.

I hope you are trying what anny 8&9 are saying anny1.

Ive had the same problem as 9, same thing worked.

I also use thermaneem shampoo by Organix, I use it on my beard when I have one, and it prevents or removes the red fungal irritation.

Pretty sure I caught it in jail, and years later, it is still present if I dont prevent it.

Best wishes man.  Try the neem oil.

Get a bowl of water and dump some salt in until it won't dissolve anymore.  Water can hold around 25 or 28 percent salt,
something like that.  Then dip a towel in the bowl and rub the affected area.  This might help a lot as bacteria and fungi
really don't like high doses of salt.  It worked for me once a while ago.

the first time i used it worked well, but i think it didnt die in the gut, so it reinfected my skin.

Hi there, thank you for the kind words.
No improvment as of yet, but Im realising this is not a external issue, my immunitys is off due to poor lifestyle and thats what i need to focus on.
also ive realised having an ugly face doesnt mean much if you have a good heart.

I have tinea versicolor, which is a fungal infection. I get red rashes all over my body, groin area, stomach, shoulders and neck, on my jawline. Also down my spine. When the rash gets really noticeable i take to pills of ketoconazole. Which helps immensely, i start to see improvements around 3 days after taking it. I have also found that essential oil of oregano diluted to an appropriate amount for your skin to handle and make it into a spray, which you can spray infected areas twice a day will also help fade the rash spots.

So for fungal infections of the skin I have personally found 3 things that help.

Low acidic diet(Eat more alkaline foods)
Make a oregano oil spray
and take ketoconazole once the rash is back in full force(usually about 3-4 months after taking it, it will come back)

Goodluck meng. I know how you are feeling with this, it sucks major ballsack. Especially when it moves up on to your face. That's the worst.

Feeling alot better, almost cleared up.
Started taking diatomecous earth, noticed my facial hair and fingernails growing the next day.
I didnt even notice they had stopped but the change was incredible.
I'm guessing I had some trace mineral defiency that it has corrected.
Been on it for 2 weeks now and I look pretty much back to normal.

Thanks for everyone support
