A member asked:
Is it dangerous to use an otc yeast infection medication without a diagnosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, but...: Vaginal itching and a cottage cheese-like discharge could be signs of a yeast infection. A woman with these symptoms can safely try using over the counter yeast infection medication. If the symptoms do not go away, you might consider seeing a doctor to evaluate the problem since it could mean a different diagnosis.
