A member asked:

Candida albicans on my vulva whereas inside was all clear.i took canesten cream and miraclin as my doc told me but didnt work.what do you recommend me?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Treat both areas: Candida rarely infects only the vulva and is often found in the vagina as well. Treat both areas after re-testing.

Confusing: Clotrimazole is good for yeast but minocycline makes it worse. Why miraclin? Ask your DR to consider an alternative diagnosis.
