I finally identified a picture of the rashes I get in between the spaces of my fingers, only when after I take an Epsom Salt bath.

It's a rash linked to Candida. I've had it twice after the baths, and of course the baths make me feel like total crap. What's happening?

Well... epsom salt baths are supposed to draw out toxins... so that would make sense...??

I'd probably stop using epsom salt... There are other things you can use. How about baking soda, sea salt, or lavender oil?
