Suggest remedy for dry skin
Patient: 19, 5'6, 128lb not too much medical history.  I got a yeast infection and have been treating it with 7 day Monistat.  It seems to have gotten better for the most part, but my skin is really dry now, to a point where if I am not careful I'll end up splitting the skin and making myself bleed.  What can I put on it to make it less dry? Doctor: My DearWelcome to the site!I have noted your concerns. The dryness in the area that has been treated for a yeast infection signifies that the superficial dead layers of skin, that were infected at one time, are now shedding to permit the new skin to come up in its place. If the itching and soreness are controlled, then in such a situation, one may switch over from cream preparation to an ointment  containing the active ingredient. This change would normally take care of the dryness effect.I hope you will get well soon. Our best wishes!
