Possible: Yeast infection can clear on its own if your body successfully mounts an immune response. However, you must not rely on this mechanism to always work.

Can you use Mycolog II for vaginal yeast infections ?

Dr. Jeff Livingstonanswered

Physician preference: Mycolog 2 is a combination yeast and steroid cream. Often it is given to external vulvar inflammatory conditions. If your doctor diagnosed a vaginal yeast infection then an internally applied cream like Monistat may be more appropriate.
