Nystatin is a drug that is commonly used to treat Candida. It’s an anti fungal that is derived from Streptomyces nursei which is a bacteria found in soil and decaying vegetation.

If you are diagnosed with a Candida infection, for example diaper rash or jock itch you’ll most often receive a prescription for Nystatin. It’s considered a safe antifungal because it is not absorbed by the skin. If, however, Nystatin gets into an open wound it can be absorbed into the skin. When used over a prolonged period sensitivity to Nystatin can develop. The reaction often includes burning, itching, rash, eczema, and pain when Nystatin is applied to the skin.
