I think you have a yeast infection. . . . My period ended a couple of days ago, and there are some residual blood flow similar to that mix that looks like cottage cheese. Blood is only apparent when you wipe after going to the bathroom. And ‘possible this was caused by the use of a pad for an extended period? I did not feel well and I slept for 12 hours without changing my notebook. And ‘normal that this will occur in conjunction with my period? And is the only way to deal with this over-the-counter creams?

Argh! I’ve never had this before and am at the end of my rope! I have a rash on my neck caused by yeast. My dermatologist is having me treat it with diet, supplements (acidophilous, garlic, zinc), and topical clotrimazole. It’s working, but s-l-o-w-l-y. It’s been over a month, and most of it is gone, but is seems to have almost stopped clearing- there are the same remaining bumps and brown spots where the bumps have cleared. Is there ANYTHING I can do to get over this last “hump”? I’ve been gently exfoliating and using a salicylic acid antibacterial cleanser, I was told it was safe to use. Anyone? I’ve searched the web for days and can only find stuff on how to cure diaper rash (almost all of which I’ve tried), not adults.

I think I have a yeast infection. . . . My period ended a day or two ago, and now there is some residual blood-like discharge mixed with what looks like cottage cheese. The blood is only apparent when I wipe after using the bathroom. Is it possible this was caused by wearing a sanitary napkin for too long? I wasn’t feeling well and slept for about 12 hours without changing my pad. Is it normal that this would occur in conjunction with my period? And is the only way to treat this with over the counter creams?

If oral candidiasis is caused by drug side effects go away after the medicine is no more?
