Hi, welcome to our forum. Congratulations on your weight loss! I have learned a lot and have received a lot from the group here.

Hoping the same happens for you! Drop in often. I lived in Richardson for a few years in elementary school and have family and

friends all over the Dallas area.

Hiya, Where is your "rash" located? If it's in the folds of your skin, its more than likely yeast.... rub on some monistat....

I had it too, it was awful.
