Persisting Yeast Infection In The Vagina. Swollen Tender Vaginal Lips. Need A Remedy

I have a yeast infection and used an over the counter one day treatment which I have used before. I also bought some of the itch cream for the outside. Now I still have the yeast infection and when I used the itch cream it felt like I was on fire. Now my clit is very red and swollen and tender to the touch. The inner lips are swollen and tender and the skin is dicolored and peeling. I'm very worried! What do I do

Hello,

First of all, you need to get pelvic examination by your gynecologist and one vaginal swab test is required to confirm the diagnosis.

You should eliminate some aggravating factors like diabetes, using OCP/ IUD, poor genital hygiene, scented bath products/ chemical cosmetics/ soap etc.

To combat yeast infection, you need to take oral anti fungal medication along with vaginal suppository for 5-7 days at bed time.

Take healthy diet with antioxidant supplement, maintain genital hygiene with proper shaving & washing, practice protected sex with condom.

Be well.
