Question about yeast infection meds...

[mom_in_ma]

Ok...so I think that I had a yeast infection. I'd just ended two weeks of heavy duty antibiotics and last week had the horrible itching. BUT, when I used the yeast infection meds (the cream you insert) they burned and itched like CRAZY! Is this normal?

Now I'm wondering if I didn't have a yeast infection, but instead had a flare up of Vulvadyna (sp?).

I think I remember a doctor teling me that it can be normal for the area to feel more irritated the first few days on the yeast cream.

Ummm.... I found that after the second or third day, they also sting more.... specifically the Miconazoles & Monistats. I do much better with Mycelex cream (OTC) ... and/or Nystatin cream.. preferably Nystatin with triamcinolone (prescriptions).

One thing about yeast infections, though, is that they are now becoming more resistant to most over the counter products, especially Monistat and Miconazole.
