Dehydration and sweating
Hi doctor! I have skin problems for more than 2 years. Not the same issues but every time it'll be different. I'm a breastfeeding mom and I get dehydrated often. Even if I drink 6-10 bottles a day I'll have to drink 3 bottles in the night also. Recently I consulted dermatologist for fungal infection in thighs due to sweating a lot and I have heat rashes all over the arms, neck, under the breast and hip. I have sensitive skin/dry skin. My face and arms gets extremely dry and have pink patches without applying moisturiser. what am I doing wrong and how should I correct it? Is that ok if I drink 2 electral/ors big sachet everyday to control my dehydration?

Fungus or yeast infection....common around skin folds like thighs and genitals.. avoid sweating, sharing clothes,towels and soap.. specific medicine required depends on the severity.. for detailed prescription do direct online consultation by sending photos.
