As an answer to: It's not from anything obvious to me. written by michael at 19 Dec 2002 22:46:21:
Thanks for the reply Michael. The cut didn't happen out of its own will to exist. It is either from trauma such as friction caused by too much action, or you have encountered a bug of some kind which has infected the area. The bug I suspect is candida that is normally present, but can overpopulate when the normal balance is disturbed by something you did. That something could be as simple as using the wrong soap, consuming chemicals in your food or drink, swimming in highly chlorinated water, or taking antibiotics. Dr PaulB has addressed the problem of antibiotics in a prior thread.
Getting control over the candida is the first step to take. Your local drug store will have overthecounter medications that women take for yeast infections. Any one of them in cream or ointment form should clear this up right away as you have indicated it just happened. Meanwhile, avoid sugars and carbohydrates, chlorine, and anti-bacterial soaps.
