Resistant yeast: A chemical or allergic reaction could do this, e.g to detergent, soap, etc. Or maybe still yeast; a small percentage of yeasts causing vaginal infections are resistant to the "azole" drugs usually used for treatment (miconazole, clotrimazole, fluconazole, and many others). See your doctor to reconfirm the diagnosis. Alternative types of yeast treatment are available. Good luck!
