Super gross question- yeast problem

Okay, so I seem to have a yeast infection under my breasts. FUN FUN! What the heck can I put on it?! I would call the doc to ask, but it's a Saturday. So, anyone have any suggestions?

    You can apply Monistat on your skin, I use it on DD when the Nystatin wont cut it.

    Keep it exposted to the air and light as well. Yeast thrives in dark warm places.

    i know i'm not exactly 3rd tri, but i can answer this question... dh has had to use monistat cream before (don't ask!) you can use it anywhere that you have a yeast infection, doesn't have to be in the vag.  i would also stop wearing a bra till it clears up and stick to cotton only, you need to vent that area.  good luck!

    Yep, i agree! I had it early on this summer and it sucked!!! My doctor told me to do all of the above along with use selsum shampoo as a body wash. You put it on the area and let set atleast 2 mins. then rinse it should kinda sting after your rinse it off....kinda like a minty tingle.

    Also - when you do wear a bra, make sure it's a clean one every day.

    I have the same thing and it does SUCK!  I use monistat cream and put powder to keep the area dry.
