Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a yeast infection and the itching is very uncomfortable. I am 93 years old and live alone. I have been cleansing with warm water and using corn starch baby powder. I have used Vagasil but it continues to itch. I can t sleep and need some relief.
If the itching persists, should consult with OG specialist and run further diagnostic tests: - vaginal swab testing - Pap smear testing - stool examination for ova/parasites
You might need prescription meds apart over the counter Vagisil.
Hope this helps.
