By mentioning clotrimazole (Canestan) you apparently suspect a yeast infection, and your symptoms indeed are typical for yeast. If discharge is present, it can often have a "cottage cheese" appearance, but usually there isn't much discharge at all. It makes sense to try clotrimazole (or any other product with an "azole" active ingredient). But see your doctor right away if it doesn't seem to work.

Please see your Gynecologist for a thorough examination and recommendations for treatment. If you are not confident in your Doctor please see another for a second opinion.
