okay so stupid me, left a pad on or a few days and then it smelled really bad, i removed it took a shower, and no more smell! but ever since then i have been a little itchy.. not constant, just every once in a while. no smell, and no unusual discharge.
oh yea not sexually active so can’t be std
so i really don’t want to go thru the hassle of telling my mom, so i was hoping that there was a natural way to cure it? also if not cured what could happen??
would hydrocortisone cream work?? i have that…

ok well hydrocortisone(my dr. prescribed me to put on the outside of a yeast infection once to treat it b/c i was having a really bad reaction to the monistat and it worked) BUT monistat is your best bet however , plain yogurt placed inside your vagina (plain yogurt not vanilla) n i read once you could bruise a clove of garlic and put it in a stocking and place in there overnight and something about the juices from the garlic cure it(personally never tried it)…………. now personally i would take monistat ovule OH and walmart used to have an organic yeast infection treatment it was a 7day ovule treatment.. you may try that
If you don’t have a discharge, you probably don’t have a yeast infection. It’s probably just an irritation. I would just use a soap that is ph balanced (you can find those at the health food store). Also, it’s a little messy but plain organic yogurt might help with the discomfort if you want to go the “natural” way.
I don’t think I would use the hydrocortisone on that area of your body unless you check with your doctor first.
If this condition doesn’t go away in a week or so, I would tell your mom and maybe call a doctor.
Good luck
I actually have one at the moment and have almost cured it by drinking cranberry juice and eating pro-biotic yoghurt (I say alpro soya is the best to use for this problem) and they work very well, I didn’t want to do all of the horrible stuff like put natural yoghurt on a tampon!
Hope this helps!
YOPLAIT yogurt….has natural cultures in it to remove yeast causing bacteria and restore your PH levels.
Drink a lot of water too.
Try gyno-lotromine. You can find it at a pharmacy. You don’t need a prescription. There are instructions in the packaging. I would suggest testing with a small amount first because I tried it once and it burned because my body is very sensitive. if it does burn, you’ll need to go to a gynecologist for a pill.
Yeast is actually found all in our bodies, but the infectiion kind is the worst. If itching continues I would seek advice from a doctor. In the meantime, shower daily and make sure to wash down there. At your local CVS they should carry some kinds of cream to help ease discomfort of itching.
sounds more like thrush, prob best to go to a chemist and get a cream, you can get it without prescription and at any age really so no1 needs to no!
