How To Get Rid Of Yeast Infections?
Hello,I had an ablatiion surgery in Sept, 2011. I began having yeast infections in which diflucan helps only a little.The diflucan causes my skin on my head to become more irritated. I noticed the skin on my head and back became more irritated after developing these yeast infections after the surgery. I'm trying not to take the diflucan pills. Instead I'm taking Acidophilus supplements many times a day. I've even tried yogurt and vitamins.How do I get rid of these yeast infections for good? How long before it goes away?

Hello and thank you for your question.
You may need to use the vaginal antifungal creams like monistat or clotrimazole instead of the diflucan. Adding a probiotic daily may help in addition to the acidophilus It can take several weeks before a yeast infection is totally cleared up once you get on the corrected antifungal medication.
