Suggest Treatment For Yeast Infection

I have diverticulitis and was prescribed ciprofloxacin. Once I finished my prescription I got a really bad yeast infection. It's been 3 weeks and I still itch. I also take metformin....sometimes because it makes my heart beat fast. So I stop taking it. But I'm tired of this rash.....what should I do?

Thanks for your query at HCM!
I am Infectious Disease Specialist! I went through your query!

Please continue your metformin and consult your physician before stopping.
Describe your lesions in detail? Which part?
Apply topical clotrimazole cream twice daiy for 7 days. Single stat dose of oral fluconazole is also the treatment for a candial infection.
Also intake of oral antihistamine like either cetrizine, fexofenadine or loratadine(10mg once) once or twice daily
