You're going to laugh.....

Even though this is embarrassing it's just too funny not to share!

I have had for years now, a very minor skin rash that comes and goes. It gives me pale pinkish spots that appear on my back and chest, particularly in summer, and more often than not, under my bra. I had a doctor look at it years ago who diagnosed it and gave me a prescription that works wonders.

Trouble is, it's expensive. VERY.

Plus it's prescription, so whenever i run out i have to pay for a doctor's visit as well and then i can only get a tiny 4 oz tube.

So i've been experimenting with home remedies, but was coming up unsuccessfully.

I mentioned this to a doctor friend of mine, that i was looking for a home remedy to use instead of Lotrisone. She suggested I try Gynolotrimin, an over the counter medicine for feminine itching due to yeast infections. She thought it probably had close to the same ingredients.

I looked for it, but i couldn't find it. The market has been dominated by another over-the-counter drug now for feminine itch. But i did find a product called Lotrimin. It's been working like a CHARM! My rash is gone again.

Oh the funny part?

You know what Lotrimin is? That i'm spreading over my ahem, breasts?

JOCK ITCH MEDICINE!!!

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Anyone else have any funny medical tales?

Now I KNOW there are people reading this section and not posting often... particularly you, P!

Come on, guys, i know you have some funny stories or can at least think of a funny come back!

ooops!

I just realized i may have put my foot in my mouth again! *embarassed*

In America a "jock" is an athlete! ...not to be confused with how it's often meant in the U.K.! I hope i didn't offend anyone.
