Of course Mild Acid: Vinegar is a mild/weak solution of acetic acid. Acid suppresses the growth of a variety of fungus ; bacteria. Several species of bacteria commonly growing in vaginal secretions (called lactobacilli - for Lactic Acid production) produce acids which suppress fungal growth. Antibiotics killing off these bacteria commonly leaves the territory open for fugal/yeast growth with resulting problems.

You may find: That baking soda is better. No treatment of that type always works anyway.

Fiance is 34 weeks pregnant and experiencing virginal itchiness, it often itches a lot when I bath. There is discharge coming out which is yellow-ish, like cheese crumps. It comes out especially after every pee. What could be the cause of this?

Been struggling with a thick flaky scalp and I've tried everything from oils to home remedies like vinegar and tea tree oil but nothing seems to work. It itches when I sweat and anti dandruff shampoos don't help either. Any solutions?

Should I worry if by mistake after spilling part of mixture of 2 cups vinegar 1 cup water + 3/4 baking soda I put Javel foam (3.5% hypochlorite 0.4 caustic soda) in sink to clean it? 3 days later I sometimes feel little dizzy and itching throat.
