In the past 2 years, I have had 5 cases of tinea versicolor, vaginal candidiasis at least 6 times and now, and now I have my 1st case of tinea capitis. My husband has never had a fungal infection and I am averaging 6 per year!! I am tired of being on anti-fungal medicine (they are hard on the liver and cause dizziness, and besides, I can't kick back with a beer while on them!). My PCP and ObGYN do not seem to think these are a lot of fungal infections.
I eat very healthy (no red meat- only fish, fruits, veggies, grains), I am a jogger, I am meticulously clean (wash hands often with soap and water, change out of running clothes right away, LOVE showers, etc.) and I can't understand why I am plagued with fungus.
I want to know
1. Is there a doctor out there who has ideas as extraneous factors that can be causing all of this?
2. Are there patients out there who have experiences with recurring fungal infections?
SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY!
