Can i use alcohol wipes to stop a yeast infection?

Not Likely: Yeast infections can affect different parts of the body. Alcohol wipes will unlikely stop the yeast infection and depending upon the affected area, could cause some major discomfort. Your best option is to see someone for a definitive diagnosis and treatment.

Nope: Alcohol won't help. it will worsen the irritation from the yeast infection. The least expensive and effective medication is mycostatin (Nystatin). Because it only attacks yeast cells, not animal cells, it is very safe and non-toxic. A baby could swallow a whole tube of the stuff with no adverse effects. An ordinary vaginal yeast infection is treated with a single 150 mg tablet of diflucan.
