Yeast Infection & Redness
I am a type 1 diabetic and was given a 3 day thrush treatment from my Dr. This is the first time I have had thrush that I have had to go to the Dr to seek a Dr advice because it is extremely itchy and red on my vagina and on my inner thighs. The medication has been working but I am now concerned that the redness is not going away. Its been 1 week. How long should I wait before the redness goes away until I go back to the Dr? Im also susceptible in hyper-pigmentation after cuts and grazes and worried that my skin will turn darker in these areas the longer it is there. Can any one offer any advice? Thank you. Just a little concerned.

Hi there. Well, you can always give the doctor a call to ask about this but I'd give it a bit more time. Not sure how long it might last and if your hyperpigmentation propensity will cause any issue for you with this. So, give it a chance to go away and if not, circle back with your doctor. good luck
