A member asked:

Can you get vaginitis from touching baking yeast then touching the vulva? also, does tioconazole work against it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: Yeast is naturally present in small amounts, all the time, only troublesome if the vaginal pH, becomes less acidic, this can occur with hormone shifts/imbalances or insulin resistance/polycystic ovarian syndrome
