How Can Vaginal Infection Be Treated?
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.

Hi,
I understand your concern.
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.
