I have seen a doctor and I am on Terazol Cream! I just want to know what I can apply down there to stop the itching. Its really bad. I take warm baths alot. I am on an antibiotic, which is why I got this.

The natural bacteria found in whole plain yogurt will help to put the yeast in check. Yeast thrives in warm moist conditions, so no panties and cool showers down under. Cranberry juice is great for urinary tract infections but will do nothing for a yeast infection. Your best result will however come from a monistat like product.

Hydrocortisone cream can ease the itching but you really do need to get a yeast infection treatment such as monistat to cure the infection. It won't go away without treatment and it will get a lot worse. In the meantime, wash gently with a mild soap, rinse really well and pat dry, apply the cream. Avoid scratching because it will only make things worse, and take longer to heal. In the future avoid yeast infections by wearing cotton crotch underwear and taking off wet bathing suits right away. However, sometimes antibiotics can give you a yeast infection.

make sure you drink cranberry juice. and there stuff out there aside from monistat, like the one day pills they have. If it does not clear up after a week or 1o days, I would suggest seeing a Dr for some antibiotic

never duche. go see a doc. Or take a warm bath with baking soda and keep yourself clean use witch hazel wipes to cool it off. Hydrocortizone also works for the itching. Don't wear underwear when you sleep keep it aired out.

I use Listerine on a cloth or toilet paper. I will burn like hel- but in three days everything will be cleared up. That is the only thing I use for yeast infections.

Eat a lot of dairy products like yogurt. Thats what my sisters doctor told her to do.

I would go to the dr and ask for a prescription for diflucan. Its a one pill treatment and it works fast!
