Apparently I have a yeast infection all over my body but mainly on my arm and around my arm pits and on my stomach. I have tried ketoconazal pills, carmol 40, clobex, perscription dandruff shampoo, and most recently clotrimazole and betamethasone diipropionate cream. The doctor said that their is nothing left for me to do but see the dermatologist. What would he prescribe me these same medications or somethiing different?

Yeah it's very uncomfortable around my arms and the colder it gets the more irritated it becomes. It makes my skin look like dried up super glue. And it also itches and burns.

Oh yeah, nystatin was the other one I tried. I was trying to see what other medications because I have student insurance and it doesn't cover some cost that would still leave me paying a lot out of pocket.

When you go to the dermatologist you should tell him/her all of the medications you have previously tried. Then he/she will try something else.
One solution I can think of is gentian violet, but it might be undesirable because it would dye any affected area bright purple. Ask the dermatologist what he/she recommends.
I am so sorry about your infection. I can only imagine that you are quite uncomfortable.

There are a few other meds that you haven't listed that can be used to treat yeast such as nystatin and diflucan. Better just to see the dermatologist and see what he can do for you.
