A member asked:
I went to the doctor and got diagnosed with a yeast infection. i was wondering is it okay to clean the discharge with a rag or just leave it alone.

Good to cleanse: I am assuming the doctor either prescribed an anti-yeast medication or recommended an anti-yeast OTC medication. With the aid of one of these, you can use a washcloth to keep yourself clean - not a problem.
