Maybe your vet can recommend a topical antifungal like Lotrimin that isn't absorbed through the skin and won't affect the liver. (Yeast is a fungus.)
Another solution that my vet gave me years ago is to do a warm 50/50 vinegar and water solution as a rinse after shampooing. Acid to counteract base. Works great on fungal infections on the skin.
