Dear Kathleen,

        I had September babies in Florida and had the yeastie beasties
under my (rather large--at the time) breasts.  Most likely caused by both
the weather and the cornstarch powder in vogue at the time.

        I asked my OB to prescribe Mycostatin powder.  It's wonderful!
Same yeast-fighting ingredient (nystatin), without the nasty cream base.
My OB wasn't familiar with the product, but I had been an ICU nurse and
had used it frequently on comatose patients.

        This is still available, works great, but many docs unaware it's
available this way.
