    Check your diet too much sugar can cause itching 

    Are you sure you have yeast infection could be LS

      Gynecologist checked me last week. He's the one said it was yeast this time. I could hardly walk or sit. It was loike 3rd degree burn between legs. It didn't itch like ls did. That part is much better but now the itch is back. He said the clob feeds the yeast infection so now I'm worried about using it now or wait.

    Hi, doctors dont always know the difference between LS and thrush..in fact, I would go as far to say that they often get it wrong.  With thrush, you tend to get a smelly often transparent discharge.  With LS, when flaring you get a white discharge which exactly resembless milk.

    Did he swab it to have it tested, that will tell you whether you have a yeast infection or something else...

    I have LS and am diabetic too. I also struggle with yeast . I take diflucan weekly if i am feeling yeasty. My yeast symptoms are watery discharge and itching like crazy. I use Clob 2 times a week only. I do not use if yeast is flaring. I do use crisco often .

    No constricting clothing , sun dresses , no underwear. A lot of crisco.

      I take Diflucan every couple of months to avoid LS flare ups.
