Does anyone have suggestions for relieving the pain, burning, and itching associated with a yeast infection? Is there a cream that works particularly well or a soak that I should put in the bathtub??

I am currently taking an antibiotic for acne, and Wednesday morning I woke up with the yeast infection from hell.
I called the doctor, and was prescribed a Diflucan pill, which I took Wednesday afternoon. I was not any better this afternoon, so I called the pharmacist, who recommended that I take my second Diflucan pill. I'm not better yet, but I have to make it through the weekend before I can see the doctor. That's why I need suggestions-- quickly! This is the worse infection I've ever had!

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi i do know antibiotics can cause yeast infection, What i do is try and get natural yogurt inside yourself where the itching is, It bring instant relieve.And it feels better straight away. And ask your gp for some pessaries. As long as your on antibiotics, the yeast will stay there.

I had a full body yeast infection and couldn't figure out why, it even came out in my scalp when I sweated. The whole house smelled like mayonaise! I found out my blood sugar (didn't know I was diabetic 2) was way out of control (around 250-300) and they put me on glucophage and insulin. Within 3 months my yeast infection was under control. No more smell thank goodness. I tried everything, yogurt, cinnamon, acidopholis, coconut oil, every remedy even diflucan (which can damage your liver) but I found out that eating sweets and high carbs and chocolate makes it worse. But getting a really bad yeast infection back under control could mean you have an illness, I also have liver disease. Have your doctor do a full Chemistry panel on you and if he won't find someone who will, have them test your liver and sugar levels. Hope this helps!
