My armpit developed a painful rash that wouldn't go away; it wasn't itchy, just really sore. I went to see my doctor and he diagnosed me with a yeast infection, gave me a topical cream (Spectazole). This seems to be clearing it up, but now I have large itchy areas cropping up all over. I don't have thrush or a vaginal yeast infection; in fact, I never have.

BTW, I have diabetes II, haven't had access to meds for 4 months, have been living with blood sugars in the 300 range. Now on induction for almost a month and BS are down to 150.

Does anyone out there have candida with skin rash as their only physical symptom? Could this new symptom be a die off from recent decrease in carbs?

Thanks!
