Yeast infection?

Posted , 4 users are following.

i believe i have a yeast infection but im not sure. A dog chased me last week and its nail sunk deep into my foot. I had a tetanus shot three years ago, but i didnt get the booster after the incident. well i got scared reading stuff online and started to take a zpack, in case it got infected. well 2 days after i started feeling weird down there & noticed a discharge, a day later a little itch. i've had a yeast infection before but its been so long im not sure of the exact symptoms. well Monday i was able to get fluconidaloze perscribed over the counter from doctor. but not actually seen. i took it and i feel better after a day, i have to take another one 3 days later. but does the skin break or get irritated when you have a yeast infection? i started itching and noticed when i wiped i saw a little pin size spot of blood like i was wipping to hard or my skin broke. but there are no sores, blisters nothing. my clit is a little red. help please if you can. when i pee it doesnt hurt or anything. just more of an slight it, on the clit and labia minora.

    The last time I had a yeast infection it was soo bad I had to ice that area down there- I had itching, burning, and cuts. On top of that I also had BV. The Dr. described it as a really bad "diaper rash"

      thank you, for replying. its calmed down since i noticed it developing. but i took the medicine Monday and everything is getting back to normal. but I cant see cuts just irritated skin. but when i wiped it was a little blood, so im assuming theres skin breakage. did your bleed a little or break skin?

      Yes even now I get small fissures (mainly from my panties irritating my skin down there), but during that time was skin was so raw and bled a little, one little thing would set it off- I couldn't even wipe! I had to "pat" or it would flare up again. I hope you feel better soon! I know how uncomfortable it can be! ❤️

    i almost ALWAYS get yeast infectioms after antibiotcs. ive had them so bad that i have had small tears and bleedingm sounds like wbat you are going through. eat some yogurt it gives your body good bacteria you can ice or warm compress the area as needed. keep the area as dry as possible. sleeping with no panties or 100% cotton underwear is recommened. dont wear too tight kf clothes. make sure to finish your meds even if it gets better

    you can by vagisil or monistat over the counter cream to help with itching and burning i hope you feel better soon!

    Your skin certainly can crack open as a result of a yeast infection. I am not a doctor but from what I have read as I too have had yeast infections, they can. In fact STDs are commonly misdiagnosed as yeast infections since the symptoms can be so similar.

      i had a check up about 2 months ago. and havent been with anyone new so i was kinda puzzled by the chaffing and cracking of skin. but the medicine is working and syptoms started going away
