I used monistat 1 (tioconazole) yesterday. my itch has stopped however theres still " like cottage cheese" coming out of my vagina. is that normal?

No where else to go: Not only is all of the Monistat NOT absorbed by the body, and would need someplace to go--that "someplace" being back out the vagina (along with remaining extra yeast that might be dead now, but STILL needs to go somewhere--so it comes out the only entrance/exit) available. Continue the treatment thru the number of days recommended on the package so you kill most of the bad guys. :)

Yeast: Sounds like the yeast infection is persisting. Try another round of monistat.
