Dry skin around mouth - sore and rashy

Hi

Wondered if someone could provide some help with my skin issues.  For over a year now I have been battling with severe dry, itchy skin but its just around my mouth.  I have never had any problems before, but its killing my confidence now !!!

I have been to the doctors several times - they gave my hydrocortisone which did not work, then something a bit more powerful, which again had no help, clindamycin (again no impact) and finally I just finished a course of floxacillin which has not done anything.  A dermatologist could not help me either.

I have put a pic here - http://t.co/81cwJOHExe  and also here http://t.co/TqQkWMmo0f

Any advice on this would be much appreciated - thanks

try nizoral shampoo or head and shoulders shampoo.... Rub on and lather and let sit for 5 mins the wash off.... put a skin cream on after... you might have to do this several times a week to beat this yeast
