Some help on yeast infection....

[gissy21]

Hello guys, i dont know if you all remember me but a short history, i had a horrible rash with bumps and itching and irritation for about 3 months and i would always be freaking out thinking it was herpes and so on. I had gone to planned parenthood and they told me it wasnt a yueast infection but they didnt know what it could be. I finally went to a REAL doctor who by the first minute pf looking at it said it definately looked like  chronic untreated yeast infection and gave me a prescription for a cream that started with the word "T" but i dont remember the name. I inserted that for 3 days and it actually felt A LOT better. it has been about a week since that treatment and i was just wondering how long it take for it to completely to heal. I mean i feel good and stuff but i am so traumatized that everytime time i feel just a slight discomfort i start worrying that its coming back. My doctor had told me that with my diabetes, i am very prone t yeast infections and i was wondering what can i do to prevent that if anything at all. Thank you for reading and have a great day!

Gissy, I think i may have the same thing. Not to be gross, haha, but could you tell me more in detail what the bumps loked like? Or if anyone knows.

Controling your blood sugar is the best way to keep from getting them!

I cant help with the info on diabetes, but I can offer this, I am prone to YI and since I got PG I have a lot more itching and discomfort, instead of using the YI inserts every time, I bought monistat external itch cream. It is to help releive the external. It has helped me alot. It isnt a "cure" or "treatment" but it will help with the little "freak outs" when it may just be an onset or sthing. Good luck!
