Question 1

i have yeast infections in several locations on my body. will all spots heal if 1 is treated?

Accepted Answer

Pill yes, cream no: First thing is off course to confirm the diagnosis of yeast infection. Now, if you are treating them with a systemic treatment (a pill, for example) then they will all get better. If you simply rub an anti-fungal cream on one of the spots, that spot might get better but the others will not. See your doc for an evaluation and a prescription to knock out this yeast infection.

Question 2

how do i get a yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Overgrowth: Yeast is a fungus found everywhere.  The culture medium to grow yeast is a warm, dark, moist environment with nourishment.  Put these microsocpic fungal elements in the vagina and away it goes.  When the flora of the vagina is altered by antibiotics and chemicals and illness (diabetes), then you get the infection.  There are many others to discuss.  Treatment is available.  Get checked.

Question 3

how can i treat yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Over the counter med: Vaginal itching and a cottage cheese-like discharge could be signs of a vaginal yeast infection. You can try using over the counter yeast infection medication (like miconazole) if you have these symptoms. If the symptoms persist after this treatment, it should be evaluated by a doctor since it could mean a different diagnosis.

Question 4

how do i heal a yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Yeast medication: You can try time and your immune system as well as limiting sugar and yeast in your diet, but typically, due to discomfort, patients prefer medication. I assume this is vaginal, but yeast under skin folds can be treated the same way - with an over the counter vaginal yeast medication/cream.  If it doesn't respond to this you will need to be eval'd for other infection or resistance.
