Can eczema of the lower body spreading to the neck, face, and scalp be a yeast infection?

Hello doctor,

I had eczema on my lower body, rising to the neck and spreading to the face and scalp. I suspect it may be some yeast infection, as I have seen improvement after using 1% Hydrocortisone and Betnovate cream. Kindly suggest to me your opinion.

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

I am experiencing all the above except pain. I would not say there is pain, and it is just a constant discomfort. It takes me hours to find a comfortable position, and my skin cannot bear to come into contact with even cotton material.

I saw a heat rash on my stomach and parts of my back too. I have used coconut oil, aloe vera with tea tree, and a double-base emollient gel.

There is a lot of scaling from my neck to my scalp. It is on the side of my face, around my eyes, and on the top of my head.

I have also had a jock itch, I guess. Last week I had a few days where I was busy reorganizing something at home, and I was sweating excessively for at least four days. After this, the overall condition became somewhat worse. Kindly help.

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.
