This is likely a yeast infection from lack of appropriate treatment; the yeast may have been resistant to the medication that was used. Many yeast strains are resistant to miconazole and clotrimazole especially in the elderly and in diabetics. If Diflucan (the pill) was used, one dose may not be enough. Over the counter Vagistat One (tioconazole) is effective. Use of A and D cream will also help.
