How To Relieve Yeast Infection And Associated Redness And Itchiness?

I think I am suffering from yet another yeast infection. The area is red, and does itch, but I also get these same symptoms when I use a different soap other than sensitive formula Dove. I have tried Monistat 7 and just putting the cream inside burns tremendously. HELP!

Hi, thanks for writing..
Get a vaginal swab for culture and sensitivity.. Infection should be treated according to sensitivity.. Yeast infection can be treated with antifungals.. Local application of clotrimazole help.. Keep area dry.. Use condom till infection heals completely.Treat the partner also.. Hope I have answered your query.. Good day
