Maybe wrong medicine: Vaginal discharge and irritation/itching can be caused by several different organisms besides yeast. They each have their own medicine which will not help other causes. I would suggest you see your physician so that he/she can test the discharge and prescribe the current medicine.

There is tingling around my vagina and my butthole. My buttcrack itches as well. Not sure if it is a yeast infection? Using monistat hasn't helped.

Dr told me I had a yeast infection. Got a pill for one day & I went to buy Monistat because the itching wasn't subsiding & the inside of my vagina still looked white. I had sex & next day I saw my urethra area is dark brown while the rest is pink?
