Ask your doctor for a prescription for Nystatin
powder, Anneke, and use it instead of the cream b/c
your wafer will hold better. My ET told me to change
as usual, then sprinkle a small amount of powder on
the affected area, then dab (don't rub) with a skin
barrier, then apply the wafer. Also, for normal
changes to avoid fungal infections, you might want to
try Baza Anitfungal cream: just rub it in really well
and pat any excess off. (Baza cream is available
without a prescription.) Hope that helps.
