There are many types of yeast in our bodies. Yeast is just a nice way to say fungus. When in abundance can cause many health issues , that are diagnosed as many things. Keeping the fungi in check can aliviate lots of things you didn't even know bothered you. Sad thing is to be treated for it you either must have a vaginal yeast infection, tinea versicolor, or be so sick they have tested you for everything else before being diagnosed. Try an antifungal on it. Since you were diagnosed with it I'm surprised they didn't suggest this. The Dr had me try Seldom Blue, the active ingredient in it is an antifungal as dandruff can be caused by the same thing. It cleared my skin up in a week, but made me real itchy. I then went to the beauty supply to find something milder. Tea Tree is also an antifungal, which I found a bar of soap with this in it, and seems to help, not as efficiently but doesn't itch. If you have some Tea Tree oil just rub a little on and see if it helps. If you have any Monistat left over in the tub. You can try using that topically as well. It is made for internal use, although I would not put it to far inside the ear canal to avoid the ear drum. If you find it helps then let the Dr know and maybe she'll give you an anti yeast medication you can take internally. If that helps and keeps coming back, it will need to be addressed internally, with good probiotics, supplements and adding things to your diet that help to kill it such as vinegar items. Eat some pickled foods everyday to help balance your alkaline levels. Cut back on foods that promote yeast growth, like raw sugars. (Soda and Candy). It can really damage the skin, at least try the antifungal soap and have it around to keep it in check, before the peeling starts causing scaring. I got it so fast on my face and took so long to diagnose, there is permanent damage. It can appear to be acne, and they just think your picking at it, causing it to be that way. When it really does go through a life cycle.
