Suggest Medication For Yeast Infection
About 2 weeks ago, I developed the worst yeast infection I've ever had in my life a day after being sexually active with my gf for the second time. I also developed 2 white patches on opposite sides of the labia (facing each other). They are not painful, nor itchy, nor raised above the skin. I assumed this was thrust and went ahead with the yeast infection treatment. The infection has cleared up, and the white patches have diminished in size, and are not as bright white as they had been, but they're still there. Is there another explanation for why they're still present, or do I need a separate treatment for them?

Welcome to the Healthcare Magic family.
After going through your query, I understood that you are having a candida (yeast) infection. You have caught this infection after intercourse.
This infection is treatable and curable provided you follow the instructions religiously. They are applicable to both the partners:
1. Please observe sexual abstinence till both of you are declared completely cured.
2. Both the sexual partners should undergo the treatment simultaneously irrespective of the presence or absence of symptoms.
3. Full course of treatment should be completed.
4. Shave the private parts. The discharge painted at the root of the hair reinfects the vagina.
5. Cut the nails short. Do not scratch.
6. Everyday boil the underwear to kill the yeast stuck up into them.
7. Use panty liners.
8. After the treatment is over, discard the old underwear and use new clean ones.
9. Report to the Gynaecologist to get the medicines. You will be mostly given tablets for inserting inside the vagina and cream for application to the penis for him.
10. After putting the tablets in the vagina, keep lying for at least 2 hours to prevent the tablets from falling out.
11. The treatment is usually for 7-10 days. Complete it religiously.
