yeast infection maybe?

So as some of you know I have had bacterial vaginosis for the past four months and went thru treatment after treatment. My last treatment was oral antibiotics and it may have caused a yeast infection. I have been experiencing the most intense itching in my vaginal area than ever for a little over a week now. Kinda difficult not to scratch when it itch that bad. I had an appointment today and doc took a culture so hopefully he figure out a way to help me because this is horrible I even take more showers than usual as if it's gonna help the itching. Is there a way to sooth the itching? (Already tried hydrocortisone)

But it has to be the off brand because the cram that comes with the monistat (expensive brand) you can't put it inside the vagina

You can Buy the off brand yeast infection medication (its only 12$) and put the cream that comes with it on the itching area and even inside. It always works for me.
