Still Spotting after Monistat 1 used 10 days ago
I took Monistat 1 for my very first yeast infection that I got as a result from 3 months of antibiotics for acne (I am 41 years old). My dermatologist who put me on the antibiotic told me to take Monistat so I did and I also stopped the antibiotoic. After a few days of burning, I felt fine. About 3 days later, I started spotting and it has now been about a week of spotting. At first I thought I was getting my period, but is still hasn't come. Just this spotting that is sometimes red, sometimes pinkish brown. Is this normal? I feel totally fine other than the annoying spotting. I am on a family vacation out of the country right now so can't call my doctor.
Definitely not pregnant. This is really driving me crazy. I will be home next week and will see a doctor when I get home.
It could be a side of effect of being on the antibiotics for so long. Sometimes they cause spotting. Other than that I'm not sure what else could be causing it. There;s numerous things that cause spotting, but it's something you would need to wait till you're home to see your doctor about. Any chance you could be pregnant?
