recovering from a yeast infection

Well, I'm back again and I'm off the antibiotics I mentioned about a week ago and my yeast infection has gone (yay!).  But now I have this strange sort of..minor burning just outside the entrance to my vagina.  It doesn't hurt all the time, only if I touch it or even for brief periods of time without me agitating it at all.  Does anyone have any thoughts/opinions as to whether or not this relates to the yeast infection I'm getting over or could this be a whole other issue?  Thanks.

yes sometimes the big symptoms are gone, but around the hole of the vagina it could still be a little red or dry.. etc
weit a couple of days, it should clear up on its own,, thats what i did and it went away.

The same thing happened to me.  I ended up calling the doctor, b/c I thought that the yeast infection was coming back again and she told me to wait it out for a couple more days to see if the pain or discomfort would go away.  I waited a whole week with each day getting better with time and it all went away.  I would wait a little longer to see if it goes away, if not call your doctor.  HTH!
