Usually due to a fungal infection. Topical treatments at the drugstore aren't likely to work. See your doctor for a systemic antifungal medication. Just so you know - you will likely have to take this medication for 2-3 months to clear up the infection.

Best remedy for candida as I know is a capsule called "Fluconazole", it's quite effective for severe infection by candida. It should be used twice, the second one 3 days after the first. Also disinfecting with Povidone Iodine and baking soda solution seperately.\n\nThe depression may be is not related to candida itself, but for the hard situation it brings for the person.

Frustratednurse is right.  Yeast is a fungus and can be treated by over-the-counter antifungals such as Monistat.  If you use the Monistat and symptoms return you should seek the attention of a physician because it is probably not yeast.

Get an anti fungal cream. They're available at the drugstore (ask your pharmacist) or at the grocery store. DO NOT use crystal violet dye. My dad (true story, I'm sorry to say) who's a scientist used some because he read it would kill jock itch. It turned his balls and dick purple and made the fungus mutate. To this day, I wish I'd seen the doctor's face when daddy dropped trou! :-)

Tisa, please research olive leaf extract, grapefruit seed extract, and most especially colloidal silver. These are very potent natural anti-virals/bacterials and can be taken for long periods without problems. The silver especially can be used topically and orally and is proven to kill over 650 types of viruses,bacteria,yeasts, and fungi. I get my silver from herbalhealer.com at 500ppm concentration which is the best for killing germs. I wish you good luck!

Acidophilus. Not sure if I spelled that right. You can get it from the healthfood store. Also aloe vera is helpful. They both help to maintain the ph balance. Both of these can help, but not cure a yeast infection. You can get medication over the counter. I'd use the medication first & the herbals as a preventative measure. Also, watch your intake of sugar.

If it is yeast the clotrimazole cream should help but it may take up to a week. Also keep the area dry as much as possible, it could just be a moister irritation. put a small amount of powder in that area when you are dressed. When at home leave the area as uncovered as possible, allowing area to dry and breath.\n\nIf it's not getting better in a week go back to the doctor.

Citrus seed extract works wonders for getting rid of fungi and bacteria internally. It tastes awful, but it does help.\n\nYou could also do a Candida cleanse.

Vaginal yeast infections commonly occur during pregnancy, probably related to the high estrogen levels. Consistently high estrogen is the most likely reason that treatment takes longer to cure a yeast infection during pregnancy.\n\nThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that only vaginal medications, such as cream or vaginal suppositories, be used for yeast infection treatment during pregnancy. Treatment takes longer than usual during pregnancy; 7 days of medication is recommended.\nIf you are pregnant, do not use these nonprescription medications without first discussing your condition with your health professional.\n\nDiflucan is NOT safe to take during pregnancy.

As a Gynecologist, I would advise you seek counsel from your PCP or a local speacialist. Restrict any procrastination.\n\nVaginal yeast infections are caused by a fungus called Candida albicans. Yeast are tiny organisms that normally live in small numbers on the skin and inside the vagina. The acidic environment of the vagina helps keep yeast from growing. If the vagina becomes less acidic, too many yeast can grow and cause a vaginal infection.\n\nThe acidic balance of the vagina can be changed by your period (menstruation), pregnancy, diabetes, some antibiotics, birth control pills and steroids. Moisture and irritation of the vagina also seem to encourage yeast to grow.\n\nYeast infections can be very uncomfortable, but are usually not serious. Symptoms include the following:\n\nItching and burning in the vagina and around the vulva (the skin that surrounds your vagina) \nA white vaginal discharge that may look like cottage cheese \nPain during sexual intercourse \nSwelling of the vulva \nYeast infections are so common that 3/4 of women will have one at some time in their lives. Half of all women have more than one infection in their lives. If you have symptoms of a yeast infection, your doctor will probably want to talk to you about your symptoms and examine you to make sure a yeast infection is the cause.\n\nYeast infections are usually treated with medicine that you put into your vagina. This medicine may be a cream that you insert in your vagina with a special applicator, or it may be a suppository that you put into your vagina and allow to dissolve on its own. Medicine in a cream form can also be put on your vulva to help relieve itching. Medicine in a pill form that you take by mouth is also available.\n\nHere are some things you can do to help prevent another yeast infection:\n\nDon't wear tight-fitting or synthetic-fiber clothes. \nWear cotton panties. \nDon't wear pantyhose or leotards every day. \nUse your blow dryer on a low, cool setting to help dry your genital area after you bathe or shower and before getting dressed. \nWipe from front to back after using the toilet. This may help prevent the bacteria that normally live in your rectum from getting into your vagina. \nChange out of wet swimsuits or other damp clothes as soon as you can. \nDon't douche or use feminine hygiene sprays, deodorant sanitary pads or tampons, or bubble bath, and avoid using colored or perfumed toilet paper. These items seem to affect the balance of acidity of the vagina and can lead to symptoms of a yeast infection.

Tell her: \nCotton underwear, loose pants, drink cranberry juice, go easy on the junk food, particularily anything sweet or superfatty, wash with mild soap and water, but do not wash inside the vaginal canal, she could upset the PH balance even more. There are good bacteria and bad bacteria, it is a very easily upset balance. Also, if she is using tampons, get the unscented ones and only as absorbent as she needs them. If she is sexually active, the activity needs to end until she is cleared up.\nTry getting a tube of Vagisil instead of just the wipes, and go to a doctor. She should only use medications or treatments if a doctor has diagnosed it as a yeast infection.
