Thank you Ms. Tessler. Before I got your answer, I asked a doctor that knows me well, and he said "Oh, you just got a little yeast infection", and I just freaked out. I was like, "Oh my God, how can I get a yeast infection", and I was just bragging to my friends about how I have never had a yeast infection and not planning on to. So, that goes to show you shouldn't talk too fast. Meanwhile, Ms. Tessler since my infection is not completely gone, I'm going to try the Desitin and see how that goes along with soaking in warm water with a little baking soda as my doctor has prescribed and using Summer's Eve powder and wash for more comfort. I appreciate all of your help.

By the way, I have noticed that for any problems or infections that occur in, on, or near the vagina most have to be inserted into you. I have a problem with that; I can not relax. Are there any pills or any cream/lotion that I can use that will work it's way to the infected area without myself having to go in in order to cure?
