Thanks for posting you query to health care magic.
first you should confirm diagnosis of yeast infection as sometimes other infection or allergic condition also mimic yeast infection .so you need to confirm diagnosis by doing fungal examination of your lesion swab /scrapping or discharge to microbiology laboratory.
if you confirm diagnosis then only take antifungal medicine .
fungal infection require long treatment locally as well as systemically.
If I would have a patien like you with confirm diagnosis of yeast infection I would suggest Local application of Ketoconazole ointment two times a day along with oral tablet of Fluconazole 150 mg twicw in a week for one month.
you need to consult a dermatologist for local examination of your disase and than take treatment accordingly.
Hope you would be satisfied with my answer . Feel free to communicate if any query .
