I don’t know if I have one, but i have yellowy-green discarge and i mean sometimes there is so much that it soaks through. & there are these weird black specs in my discharge too. The smell is horrible, realllly strong fishy odor, and sometimes I am itchy down there. Also is there a way if i had it that I could treat it without going to the doctor, I have a fear of the doctors and would like to avoid it but I will go if I need to. & is a yeast infection fatal? Please no mean answers…
No, I am not sexually active

I’m 21 and I was just at the doctor’s today. I’ve never had a yeast infection before but my doctor told me that the anitbiotics I just finished have given me a yeast infection. She gave me a 1 day treatment and advised that I pick up a 7 day pack of monistat. What am I to expect while trying to cure this? I’ve heard it like "runs" out of you? Any tips or advice would be great.

I’ve been fighting these red little flaky spots all over my body for a couple months now. the doctor tells me its fungal, and i believe him, except i dont think its ringworm because its not in a ring. just red spots that grow and flake. it first showed up as one localized spot a year ago, but after going to the doctor, i got medicine, and it went away, now, a summer later, its back but with fury. its ALL over my body… my doctor gave me medicine to apply to EACH spot until they disappeared, but since its all over my body it was not only impractical, but impossible to find every spot and medicate it twice a day… so i gave up on the cream and now its spreading like wild fire. i just ordered some tea tree oil and soap that i can blindly apply everywhere… will that work since i cant very well go on a scavenger hunt everyday for these spots? Help me, i’m being taken over by this infection! About the cream, sorry to sound misleading, its definitely fungal because the cream IS effective in making the individual spots go away, both this summer and last, but it isnt effective at getting rid of the infection as a whole. because there are so many spots, if i miss even one, the infection will continue to spread. Plus, they’re not all that itchy, in fact they dont bother me other than that theyre growing everywhere and its freaking me out. So that makes me think its neither eczema or psoriasis. thank you though!

My insurance company is trying to dispute a bill because I had a yeast infection. They’re claiming it’s a pre-existing condition! WTF!!! A yeast infection? It’s not like that is some serious condition that I knew about. I went to the doctor and found out I had one. What a rip off!

My guinea pig has a patch of what looks like dry skin on her right ear. I haven’t really noticed her scratching at it, but it never seems to get better. Anyone have any ideas of what this could be? My husband tried putting a small amount of hand creme on it to see if it would help and it just looked really red and sore the next day so we won’t try that again. I’ve looked up some information online and saw that they can get mites and fungal infections, but what Piglet has looks nothing like the pictures of those - as it doesn’t seem to be that pronounced yet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

hi all,
ive got a fungal infection on my head and my hair has fallen out so its just a patch about the size of a coin without any hair and looks weird.

ive been to the doctors loads of times and they keep giving me the same medicine even though it doesnt have any affect.

please can someone help and tell me what to use to make it go away. thanks in advance

I’m not having sex for some time now but I am feeling like I want it so I plan to masturbate. I’ve had this yeast infection for about 11 days now, sometimes it "seems" to go away if I drink lots of fluids. Today I used the yogurt remedy and the smell and discomfort disappeared for awhile.

I was wondering if masturbating can complicate the infection. I am getting Monistat tomorrow, as I feel natural remedies are starting not to work for me.

Do you have to have discharge for it to be a yeast infection? There is itching and burning (the burning happens when urine passes over the sensitive area) but no discharge or unusual odor. I’m just worried b/c I just got married and started having sex and now this is happening…Never had anything happen before.

I just bought a Betta two days ago. I noticed he was really shy and didn’t eat. I looked at him today and he’s covered in white cottony blotches. I have him in a big bowl of water temporarily. He is separated from all the other fish.

First, what should I do now?
Will my other fish get the same infection? (Danios and Gourami)

Thank You.
