Diabetic skin care and hygiene question.?

Filed under Infection Male Yeast
I am a male diabetic who is overweight. I have skin issues attributed to my diabetes. One of the most troublesome is an irritation and rash which has been diagnosed as a yeast infection in the groin area. I have been prescribed a prescription cream to apply daily to prevent the onset of yeast infections. I am to keep the area as clean as possible. It has been suggested that I would accomplish both the cleanliness requirement and the application of the cream to a more thorough degree if I keep the hair removed from the pubic area. Are there other diabetics who may have this problem with the same directions for care?
shaving the private areas is itchy at best!! You know what happens when you try to wear a banlon turtle neck and the beard starts growing?? it is 10 times worse in the private area with that stubble rubbing on underwear.
I am not sure about the source of your information, but the tucks pads do a wonderful job for me of cleaning the private areas! Get them at the drugstore!
The doctors and nurses used to shave the private areas of pregnant ladies just before delivery! It made the next 3 months most uncomfortable for a lot of us!! They did not shave my Daughter In Law this last summer!! She was a much happier camper when she got home! No razor rash either!!!
Hi,
Because of my own weak skin and organ systems that have been unable to handle poisons since when I was a teen and could not use deodorants, I have learned to use hypo-allergenic non perfumed soaps and to sometimes powder different portions of my body with cornstarch.
Firstly, even though I might not answer your question precisely as you might have wanted, to help you with simple and concise information on ALL itch rash illnesses and for short and long term solutions to them ALL – the following link has considerable info within a ‘report’ I recently posted on Y_A:

I have accumulated a substantial background in investigating itch rash illnesses with my own non-alcoholic fatty liver disease even though I have a fairly low BMI of 26. Back when my malady was at its worst – I used to be allergic to my own sweat that I was burning off during exercise or after showering – during a time in my life when I used to have considerable toxins stored within my body fat.
I eventually learned that itching or rashes are symptoms of maladies that could become much worse if not healed with better non-toxic nutritional choices. So, since it took me ‘almost’ too long to understand what I am attempting to now teach others, I now take a little time each week to help others understand the need for non-toxic and ‘adequate’ micro-nutritional absorption in the gut and for good hygiene that will prevent or minimize every disease I am aware of.
Secondly, although I have seen that most root problems for ‘skin’ issues for myself and others has usually ‘always’ been from long and or short term allergic reactions to ‘something’ COMBINED WITH a weakened lymph liver kidney skin and immune systems – IF the following symptoms would ever occur – I ‘think’ the worst rash one might possibly have quickly acquired is from deadly bacterial meningitis, ALTHOUGH bacterial meningitis would be VERY RARE.
The two quotes below are from: <> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_Meningitis <>
<>
“IF a rash is present, it may indicate a particular cause of meningitis; for instance, meningitis caused by meningococcal bacteria may be accompanied by a characteristic rash.”

<>
“The MOST common symptoms of meningitis are headache and neck stiffness associated with fever, confusion or altered consciousness, vomiting, and an inability to tolerate light (photophobia) or loud noises (phonophobia). SOMETIMES, especially in small children, only nonspecific symptoms may be present, such as irritability and drowsiness.”

I truly hope what you learn will help you to decide on the correct choices that will remedy your painful malady in the future.
My best to you and yours,
