  Okay mamas, need help with recurrent yeast issues NOT in diaper (nakedbabytoes)

Howdy Ladies!
Okay, we've been dealing with a recurrent yeast issue that my son gets on his chin. He's been a huge slobber king since day 1(seriously!) and I use regular over the counter anti-fungal creme 2x a day when the spots start coming out. It comes and goes, but mostly is there more often than not. I've boiled his binkys, boiled his bottles & nipples, dishwashered his toys, you name it! Could it be me? He still BF and he's 1 now. But I've never gotten a yeast rash on my breasts. Any ideas? Does anyone else have a drool monster that breaks out constantly? It's only on his chin, where he slobbers. If I put aquafor on it(as a skin barrier from the drool) then he gets it really bad and it's bright red. So if it's irritation due to drool, I'd think a protective layer would help it not make it worse. But this recurrent thing is just perplexing me! I want it gone for good, but need some "expert" advice! Please help my son.....

Are you positive that it is a yeast infection on his chin?  Has it ever been diagnosed by a MD/PA/NP?  I only say that because you noted that you have not gotten a yeast infection in all the times that this has happened.  If a person can't kick a yeast infection without antifungals, then the next step is a sterid cream for a few days.  You would need an rx for that though.  We live in a cold climate and my DS gets a rash around his mouth very quickly from licking his lips during the day.  Sometimes something as simple as vasaline will protect the trouble area and prevent the saliva from irritating the skin.  GL

My DS#1 went through a very drooly stage and would get a rash between his chins (he had about three at that point, I think, and right into his neck).  Try as I might, I could not keep the area dry, and we were at one point prescribed an anti-fungal.  I didn't end up having to use it, as the faucet suddenly dried up.  I would get a medical opinion about it next time you're in, personally.
