Are there any good over-the-counter creams for vaginal yeast infections?!


Question: Are there any good over-the-counter creams for vaginal yeast infections?
Okay, I know I've asked a lot of questions about yeast infections, but it's been 3 months and I still have the symptoms. I finally had the guts to tell my mom about my yeast infection, all she said was that I was cleaning down there wrong and I should not scratch down there otherwise it gets worse. But she said it will go away because she experienced it herself, but I had it at grade 6, and now grade 8 it came back, its not gone yet :( I even asked my mom if we can go to the doctors, but she said they'll say the same thing just like they told her when she had it. I know I have a yeast infection because all my symptoms fit in the yeast infection description. I've been taking oil of oregano, but it isn't working. I am so miserable. But I've heard about Monistat 7 that its good, but the side effects look uncomfortable. I don't want to insert a tablet in my vagina btw, I've never used a tampon only pads and I'm 13. PLS HELP!!! Anyone with the same experiences??? What did you do??? P.S I dont want anything too messy like yogurt and garlic :(

Monistat. You are just gonna have to insert the tube. It's not that bad at all. But other than that all you can do is see the doctor.

Monistat
Everyone gets yeast infections even males
And i would change moms

It may not be a yeast infection. You should go see your gyno and get tested.

Pharmacists recommend that you use a 7-day formula, regardless of the brand. Some products promise a cure in three days or less, but it's better to give yourself a week's dose. As for the insertion of medication ... It's really not that bad! According to most y.i. medication, you should insert the medicine, and go straight to bed (lying down insures the medication stays in place). Look, it's not the most comfortable situation, it downright sucks sometimes, but it happens to the best of us gals.

i just had a yeast infection a couple weeks ago and it was so painful and uncomfortable i couldnt go to skool, i had it ongoing for about a couple months until i told my mom and she took me to albertsons where i got monistat and a urine relief pills that turn ur pee orange when it works, but it helped a lot! im 17 so i was ok with putting the monistat inside me but its not as bad as a tampon its like a little white egg with medicine, and u have to lie down but it helped the yeast infection go away within that day :) although its 3 day system thing, btw mine was a UTI so not sure if its the same as yeast infection, probably
