What "powder to cleans you of it?" Don't know where you heard that, but it's really bad info.
First of all, you shouldn't be attempting to treat yourself for chlamydia, and you need to be sure that's what you have. It's a bacterial sexually transmitted disease, and it's treated with prescription antibiotics.
You need to see your doctor. Untreated, it can cause serious problems including sterility.

No. This will not work. Chlymidia is a bacteria and requires antibiotics. however, Zythromax is said to be a one shot treatment and this would be less expensive than a lengthy treatment. Also, because its an STD, many health departments will treat you for free to curb the spread of the disease. Planned parenthood may as well.
the antibiotic azithromycin (Zithromax), a prescription drug approved by FDA in 1997 to cure chlamydia in one dose. "It's a breakthrough because we can observe therapy rather than depending on people to adhere to a more complicated regimen," Hitchcock says. Doxycycline (sold under several brand names), the other antibiotic approved and commonly used to treat chlamydia, is generally taken twice a day for seven days.

NONONO you HAVE to go see a doctor, look online for free clinics in your area if you can't afford it, even something like Planned Parenthood will help. It is important to get real medical treatment, especially if you are not sure what you have. They can give you the proper medicine and diagnose you accurately. Right on those products it tells you not to use them unless you have been diagnosed by a doctor, because there can be adverse reactions and side effects you don't know about! good luck!

Generally this type of std is cured with an antibiotic. Typically the antiobiotic that is used for treament is clindamycin or doxycycline. Since this disease is a bacterial infection I dont think that a powder can clear it up.

You need more than a little packet of powder...you need an antibiotic just for chlamydia.
Go to a free clinic....this is serious.

Spot scientific care is fundamental. you are able to spot manage with toothpaste (no longer the gel variety the universal variety), a face mask, and now and back buttermilk works too. in the experience that your seeking to get rid of redness, a drop of eye drops on your pimple will decrease the redness in 5-10 minutes

Go to the doctor. And if you can't afford it then go to Planned Parenthood or a free clinic, that's what they are there for. Don't try to treat yourself for something as serious as an STD, you could cause more harm to yourself and others.

Go to planned parenthood. They will treat you on the cheap for stuff like this. It needs antibiotics, but they aren't expensive.

go to a free clinic, its anonymous and they will test you and give you free treatment if they find something.
dont try to cure it yourself because it might be something else and you will just get worse and lose time.
