I am 17 and not sexually active and never have been. For the past year I have had about 6 yeast infections and 1 bacterial vaginitis. I currently have a yeast infection and they have me diflucan and a vaginal cream. I took the pill and have been using the cream. I have been doing that for 3 days now. My vagina is currently raw like it is agony to wipe and it burns. Burns sometimes to pee. Vagina is also very red. Smells sometimes but not all the time. Any ideas what’s wrong?

It sounds like you have a very bad case of thrush I'm afraid to say, was the treatment your using prescribed by a doctor or did you get it from the pharmacy?

A few things you can try are to let you vagina get as much air as possible by not wearing underwear and wearing skirts or dresses around the house, don't wear skin tight leggings only wear 100% cotton panties avoid using any scented product such as soaps around the area only use scented pads or tampons, you can also try cutting some sugary things from you diet and also try coating your vagina with a natural unsweetened yogurt as the enzymes will help kill the yeast bacteria and you can also try dipping a tampon in the yogurt and inserting it for a couple hours to do the same as some say it works.

If you would like more info or have any other concerns feel free to ask :)

I don't think there is such a thing as a medicine that will treat it all together most are a two part treatment of either a pill to take or pessary you insert and a cream for external use, what medication have you tried before?
