Yeast: Consider that there may be something else causing the pain or that she is immunocompromised.

Yes: Diflucan (fluconazole) can be taken both orally and intra-vaginally. If they do not work, ketoconazole can be taken instead. Contact your pcp or a dermatologist for an rx. Additionally, you should check if the infection is clymidia. If so, tetracycline can be used to treat (also by rx).
