Im assuming this is a yeast infection because im on antibiotics for strep throat but ive only had one YI before years ago and this whole "peeling/dry??) effect is new. according to google photos it is a symptom of a YI but i want to be sure

symptoms have been white discharge, the "peeling" effect you can see in the pics (goes away when cleaned but comes back in a few hours), fissures

My doctor cant see me for a week so Im going to start Monistat 3 tonight and am taking probiotics

any input as to what could be going on and how to fix would be greatly appreciated. kind of freaking out, thank you

(also posted in YI thred but responses are slow over there

    try soaking in apple cider vinegar baths. Wear panty liners, dont use soap. Try shaving with bottom under water next time. Looks inflammed or irritated. Never use old razors. You should start feeling better in a couple days. Dont wear tight clothes or undies while irritated.
