I'm nearing the end of my first outbreak but the itching is killing me. What can I do about it?? What is the best thing to use that won't give me another yeast infection?

    I had epsom salts baths or Apple cider baths while at home. The best thing I use now is xylocaine. You can buy it over the counter.

    How long does the itching continue?? It's been a month and everything still itches!

    I solved the itching problem with Vagisil. It lasted a good 6 hours. But, it also turns out the itching was my second outbreak. No sores like with the first one and none of that pain, but I've still had nerve pain in the gluteus Maximus area. Hoping that disappears soon, too.
