Abstract
A method of treating or preventing skin yeast infections, such as cutaneous candidiasis, includes applying a polymerizable monomer adhesive composition to an area of skin afflicted with or susceptible to a skin yeast infection, optionally with at least one of an additional anti-fungal agent or a skin care additive, and allowing the polymerizable monomer composition to polymerize to form a polymer film over the area of skin.
