Hi Mark,

Did you try antihistamine cream/tablets? You say you are using canisten, did a doctor confirm it was a fungal/yeast type infection?

Nicola

Hi Nicola

No I havnt been to the doc with it I generally get it every year come spring it can be brought on by the sun but not this time

This time It appeared in March time and got worse in late March when I was working with latex gloves on one day and has go slightly better since them but worse again in the past three four days

I usually use canesten but it takes it forever to clear up using it many 4-6 weeks

How often would I need to take antihistamine tablets to see a result usually take one or two here and there to see if it helps and it usually doesnt

I cant imagine Canisten would do much for you.  It is for fungal and yeast infections.  It could well be caused by a reaction to something relating to weather change. 

If I were you, I would try out antihistamines. 

I just googled this :Antihistamines work well to relieve symptoms of different types of allergies, including seasonal (hay fever), indoor, and food allergies.

They are usually just 1 pill a day from any supermarket / chemist. 

They would take a few days to kick in.

Sorry for the late reply
