How Can Vaginal Yeast Infection While On Antibiotics Be Treated?
I’m currently taking an antibiotic which has resulted in a yeast infection. The irritation/dryness is a little too much and I wonder if some sort of lubricant/moisturizer would help? I’ve read that cocoa butter or shea butter are safe to be near the vulva/clitoris/etc. but I’m not sure
