i usally wear cotton panties or go with none just to let it breathe. just keep it dry for the most part. but when i had a really bad one last year my doctor told me a tip which was the total opposite of what i had been doing. she told me to keep a cool damp washcloth over the area while sitting on the toliet after you go and also having an ice pack on the area while laying down. it helped a lot and i hope that you are feeling better soon and maybe one of these ideas helped
what can i do to help the burning and itching that comes with a yeast infection? . i am 16 and i think i have a yeast infection. i've never had one so i described the symptoms to my mom (redness itching burning and a discharge). she said we have to go see the doctor but they didn't have appointments until next week. she gave me so monistat to aid me for now but it only made it worse. my question is what can i do to fight the infection until i see my doctor? i have a cold compress on the area and it helped a lot but i want the itchiness to stop altogether.
