Talked with my dad and uncle who served in The Nam and they had treated a few areas with Tea Tree oil - worked even on getting rid of toe nail fungus (surface). My dad had a spot of fungus on his chest and it disappeared never to return. Use it straight out of the bottle and apply it with a Q-tip to the area. Hope it works for you.

Tea tree oil, I’ll try it.

A friend with the same problem recommended 90% alcohol, to dry it out, moisture is the root problem???
Burns a bit but kind of works.

The dermatologist, did NOT test, but in her opinion, thinks it is a yeast infection, not a fungus?

I always thought it was a fungus?

I’ve read that Oil of Oregano is similar to Tea Tree oil for fungal infections, but that it burns.
