does anyone know if Solodyn antibiotic for skin causes yeast infections commonly?

Q. i've been on this pill, Solodyn, precribed by my dermatologist for a couple of months and he prescribed it for another 2 months today. i've lately been feeling like i have to pee alot and i don't i don't know if that is something to do with it?
any ideas?
it burns a little.

A. Yeast infections sometimes occur with any antibiotic. The antibiotic kills off the bacteria in the infection (that's what it is supposed to do). But with the bacteria gone, any yeast cells can grow without competition. You might want to read this Web page, which mentions this issue with respect to Solodyn.

On the other hand, frequent urination is not a common effect of Solodyn. If anything, it is likely to make you go less frequently.

Bottom line: you need to tell your doctor what is happening. He may want to treat you for a yeast infection as well. Call the doctor's office and tell them your concerns. Good luck!!

I have a scottish terrier that has what I believe to be a yeast infection on his skin.?
Q. He has lost patches of hair with scabby sores, is very itchy all over, and his coat has become very greasy. He does not have an odor though. I took him to my vet who said it was fungal and gave me a medicated shampoo, the problem is that after two weeks, I am not seeing much of an improvement. Does anyone have any suggestions that may have been through this with their dog?
the vet did a scraping and checked for mites, there were none, but he said he did see fungal organisms

A. They can get skin infections which are caused by bacteria or yeast. If the dog is clear for demodex then you probably just have a skin infection. Sometimes they will have allergies and from the itching they will get a secondary infection. You need to get the itching taken care of so you can get the skin cleared up. It sounds like you need a antihistamine and something for the infection. There are a few different types of meds for skin so it depends on what type of infection it is. Yeast can be a little tough to take care of, but with the right meds it shouldn't be a problem.

Please dont feed ol Roy. There is excellent dog food on the market for allergies and I would go for one of those. Your vet will have Rx diets or you can pick them up from petco or petsmart. I like Natural Balance Duck and Potato, Proplan Sensitive skin and stomach (Salmon), Pinnacle Trout and Sweet Potato, Wellness Allergies, also if you try a allergies diet you cant do anything other those indigents. If you feed a venison diet than you cant feed chicken based treats. Stay away from corn, chicken, beef, and all by-products.

Can a prolong yeast infection untreated cause the outside skin around your labia turn pink?
Q. I work at a military base and the water is not the same as in the states so could this water be a cause or effect?
Should I be very concerned?. There is no discharge. I will be traveling in 5 months for a check up. Is that too long to wait. I am a black lady over 60yrs.
Thank

A. Untreated yeast infection can be a cause.

Since yeast infection is caused by harmonal imbalance, which basically means the ph factor in your body is not balanced. This is caused by bacteria.

The ph factor can vary depending on the food you eat and water is a part of our food intake.

Just varying the kinds of food you eat on a daily basis can help in treating the yeast infection. Be proactive, its your body.
