Suggest Remedy For Itchy Bumps During Yeast Infections
Hi how are you? About 6-7 weeks ago l was diagnostic with yeast infection and uti and my doctor put me on 3 different antibiotics (l didnt want to use cream). After that l got some itchy bumps that the dermatologist said they were a reaction/allergy to my infection and antibiotics. He gave me some cream to use if it gets really itchy and some zyrtec. He also said that it might take another 4 weeks or so until the allergy should go away. My QUESTION is if l can do anything else to make the little bumps go away faster. Can you please help?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
Itchy bumps following antibiotic intake caused due to allergy can be dealt with by doing the following:
1. Wash the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily.
2. After drying, you can apply Hydrocortisone cream over the lesions.
3. Take Tablet.Levocetrizine to overcome itching.
4.Wear loose fitting undergarments and abstain from sexual activities till the lesions subside completely.
Gradually, the lesions should subside and resolve completely.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
