My mum won't take me to a dr. I have no way of going to one. She won't even let me see a GYN yet, either. I'm A 19 YR. OLD FEMALE and I think this is my first yeast infection. I can't afford Monistat 7. So, I had to go to the dollar store to buy what they had. I'm itching really bad and it burns sometimes. I itch from the front (from where I pee) all the way to the back (where my anus meets the vulva). I've used medicine extrenally for 3 days, but i've only used it internally for 2 days. Someone...anyone...PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE HELP!

Take the bus and go to the emergency room if you can't go and see your physician. Things like this can get REALLY bad if you don't go and see a doctor. I don't condone ignoring your mother's wishes, but in this case: SCREW IT! GO AND SEE THE DOCTOR!!!!

GARLIC SUPPOSITORIES FOR YEAST INFECTIONS
Quick to make, easy to apply, and very effective, garlic suppositories are a favorite remedy of many women.
~ Carefully peel a clove of GARLIC
(Some women caution against nicking the garlic in the peeling process as they claim the oil can burn the vaginal lining. Most women don't find this a problem, and say that the garlic should be nicked or bruised in order for the disinfecting oil to be released. If you have a particularly sensitive vaginal lining, it is better to be careful when preparing the garlic.)
~ Wrap a piece of thin gauze around the garlic , fold the gauze in half, and twist into a tail. It will look vaguely like a homemade tampon with a tail.
~ Insert the garlic suppository well inside the vaginal cavity. For easier insertion, a small amount of oil can be rubbed on the end of the suppository.
A fresh suppository should be inserted every three to five hours and the old one removed. Repeat for three to five days until the infection is gone.

If you are 19 it is past time to see a GYN. Look in the phone book for Planned Parenthood or a Family Planning clinic. You can see a GYN, or at least a nurse practitioner, and they can treat you for what ever it is you have. They do more that just provide birth control. You are old enough to go on your own, and most will charge you on a sliding scale, according to what you can afford to pay.

I don't know where you live, but it sounds as though you may have a yeast infection as you suspected. You NEED TO GO TO A DOCTOR. Have a friend take you to a local Planned Parenthood--they will see you and treat you for free.

you are over 18 why are you counting on your mother to pay for your medical problems? you seem to be well versed on your anatomical system so you are not uneducated therefore go to the public health dept take a number have a seat and guess what they will see you and medicate you accordingly so whats so difficult can you make it there without youre mum? you need to realize you are an adult and your mum is not responsible for you anymore

MissQueen is right, plus even if it was a known brand of medication, using it internally for 2 days is not enough time for it to work.

Reserch online to see if there is a free clinic in your town. They may be able to give you the medication you need, even if you do not have insurance. If you are in college, the university heath center always is there, and in some cases, charges nothing.

this can get serious if you ignore it. I don't know your circumstance but like the other person who answered you get yourself to a free clinic before the problem gets worse. If mom is that controlling and you are the age you claim to be I am sure you have told her little white lies about your wherabouts before so off you go to the doc before something more serious develops

Go to a walk-in Clinic or an Emergency Room and explain your problem - I think someone there could help you.
