Q: I think I may have an yeast infection but I'm too embarrassed to tell my mom so she can get me something for it. Is there any other way to get rid of it besides using creams..?
You need to see a doctor... those creams are for women who experience recurring infections and have already talked with their doctor and had him/her recommend the over the counter creams. Are you sure it's a yeast infection? Because if it's just itching, that's a little more common and easier to treat (use pantiliners, don't use pantiliners, that sort of thing) but either way you should see someone. Don't be embarrassed, it's okay, really.

I'm not really sure at all if I have it. I just experienced itchness before for a while. But it possibly could have been because I was sweating or allergic to the fabric I'm wearing... But I also just started shaving so that also may be making it worse.

I've been in the advice column over five years now so I think I've pretty much heard it all... the love, the hate, the random insanity. I don't take it too seriously, so I'm not always giving the best advice, but my column is fun to read!

I am a 23 year old electrical engineer, a feminist, a Christian. I don't know everything but I can sure pretend to.

Disclaimer: Now that I'm on advicenators I'm getting even more questions every day. It's fast and easy for me to answer them, yes, so at least I'm answering something now, but if your question contains the words "there's this guy that I like..." chances are I won't get around to it. I'm only answering interesting questions that I haven't answered before. Register at the site and ask everyone for advice if you must have an answer, because if people read my column and boring love advice was all they found, they'd never come back.
