Allergic reaction or die off effect?
I have an unusual problem. My heel itches--severely. The same spot, on the same foot. The weird part is that it itches whenever I take Nystatin. My doctor originally prescribed Nystatin in late June for my candida...I took it for a few months after that (I don't recall if the itching started then or if I had it to some degree before that). Sometime around November, my doctor mentioned that I might try NOT taking it to see if my candida symptoms returned or worsened. I did that, and didn't notice any significant changes. So far so good, and during that time no itchy foot. I recently decided to start taking it again after some of my symptoms returned (and after taking a cruise where I had a little too much fruit every day). Since I started taking it (started this week), my foot has been itching like crazy...same foot, same spot. I've mentioned this to my dermatologist who doesn't find anything wrong. I have yet to see my allergist. Does it sound more like allergic reaction to the Nystatin or some type of die off affect?
Sorry for the lengthy explanation!
