advice
how can you tell if you have a yeast infection and what do you do to treat it with out going to the doctors.. like what are the symptomns.. ill rate!!
Heres a well thought out answer to the symptoms.
Signs and symptoms of a yeast infection correspond to the site of the infection: · Skin infections cause a red rash, often with patchy areas that ooze small amounts of whitish fluid. The rash may be itchy or burn. Small pustules or white blisters with pus inside may develop. · Vaginal yeast infections cause a white or yellow discharge from the vagina, with burning, itching, and redness along the walls and external area of the vagina. · A yeast infection of the penis causes redness, scaling, and sometimes pain on the underside of the penis. · Oral thrush, which is a yeast infection of the mouth, causes creamy white patches on the tongue and sides of the mouth, and sometimes pain. · A yeast infection of the nail beds causes white or yellow nails, painful swelling, and pus
Also how to treat it without going to a doctor
Yeast infections are treated with anti-yeast, anti-fungal creams. These include: · nystatin cream for infections of the skin, vagina, and penis · suppositories for vaginal or anal yeast infections · a liquid or lozenge for oral thrush
The skin should be kept dry. Plain talcum powder, or a powder that contains nystatin, can help keep the surface area dry. Corticosteroid ointments may be used to reduce the itching and pain.
