Most likely: As antibiotics can cause yeast infections but call your gyn.

Maybe: I would recommend that you try otc treatment for yeast, (monistat type of treatment), if it doesn't resolve, than may need an antibiotic for Diflucan (fluconazole) pills (150mg tablets). It could be other cause, if so would need different treatment.

I am experiencing vaginal dryness, itching, burning, and abnormal vaginal discharge (itchy, cheesy discharge). My vulva is very tender and red from the irritation. It seems like another yeast infection, which I get very regularly. Why would that be?
