Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Your problem is most likely Yeast infection.For my patients with such cases i treat with clotrimazole in form of vaginal suppository or ointment or terbinafine ointment.I also advice them fluconazole tab to take weekly once for 1 month to stop recurrence.I also recommend them to use intimate wash regularly to normalize vaginal bacterial flora and PH and there by prevent them from getting further infections.It is also better to avoid hard soaps and use hypoallergic soaps like Cetaphil.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
