General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
As infection improves with local anti-fungal medicine, it is definitely yeast infection.
To get complete cure you might require one course of oral anti-fungal medcine likeFlucanozole 150mg once in a week for 4 weeks.
Keep local hygiene clean and dry and airy.
Ok and take care.
