Question 1

can jock itch medication work for a male yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

YES: 'jock itch' is usually caused by a yeast infection and the medications for that do treat yeast. So the answer is yes!

Question 2

can i use flucinonide ointment .05% for a yeast infection u til i can get to the dr tomorrow? if so, how do i use it. it itches so bad/ any other home

Accepted Answer

Yeast infxn: Many formerly prescription anti-yeast medications are now available over-the-counter w/o prescription. I believe you're referring to fluocinonide (http://www.drugs.com/mtm/fluocinonide-topical.html) which is a potent steroid. While it's useful to stop skin from itching, I wouldn't recommend for a yeast infxn. Instead, you can try OTC stuff prior to seeing your doc who can confirm it's yeast.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

A good possibilty: Could be allergic reaction, or sometimes herpes, see your gyn for an exam and culture.

Question 4

what to do if i have white stuff coming out my vigina, it smell really bad, and itches is this a yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Yes,: See your family doctor for a prescription for that.  It is easily treated.

Question 5

if my discharge has a smell is it not a yeast infection? it itches, swells, and burns of i scratch or rub it.

Accepted Answer

The Yeast Is Least: Typically a purely "yeast" infection does not have a very bad smell. It may have an unusual odor but not very disturbiing. They do itch and can also burn. The odor is a tip-off to another infection, probably bacteria. There are over-the-counter medications for itchy  yeast, but not the bacteria. Go see your doctor for that....Now...

Question 6

i had a yeast infection so i took azo yeast for a few days but my female part still itches! i don't have insurance so im looking for an at home rem?

Accepted Answer

Go To Drug Store: There are multiple over the counter yeast treatments available at the pharmacy, drug store, or supermarket.  Some of the brand names are gynelotrimin7, monostat, vagistat, (tioconazole) etc.  Many have generic or store brands with the same medication (cheaper).  Use as directed on the package.

Accepted Answer

Hard: To tell but may just be irritation. Consider applying anti itch topicals. If symptoms continue see your PCP

Question 8

i have a thick white discharge from my vagina and it itches. could i have a yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Most likely the answer is yes. If you have never had a yeast infection before, see a doctor first to make the correct diagnosis. Yeast infections are very common, especially in the summer months and after taking certain types of antibiotics and easily cured with over the counter medication. Rarely, it may also be a symptom of other health problems like uncontrolled diabetes or immune disorders.

Question 9

my vagina is very tender and itches. no smell or has a pinkish duscharge.. is it a yeast infection.?

Accepted Answer

Could be: Typical symptoms of a yeast infection are a cottage-cheese like discharge and vaginal itching. If you think you might have a yeast infection, try an over the counter yeast medication. If your symptoms do not go away after using the medication, you might consider visiting the doctor.
