I'm curious about using alum for treating yeast infections. I've read about applying water and alum together, but I'm not sure how effective it is or if there are any risks involved. Could you provide some insights into whether this is a safe and useful method?

I'm dealing with a really stubborn fungal infection that I've had for over 4 months now. Initially, I thought it was just a rash that would disappear on its own, but it resembled ringworm and has all spread over the lower parts of my bum. The itching is unbearable. Around 2 months ago, I noticed a ringworm on my stomachit was small at first but now it's grown quite a bit and started spreading. I'm also seeing new ones popping up near my genital area. I'm really worried about this and need some guidance on what to do. I've started using Cosvate GM because a friend who had a similar issue suggested itis this safe to use for my condition?
