>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?

I can't think of any over-the-counter yeast remedies that don't need to be inserted in the vagina, but there is a prescription medication available in pill form for yeast. One pill, taken once, will cure a woman's yeast infection in many cases.

By the way, I strongly recommend that you avoid all vaginal products, such as powders, douches, and washes, not recommended specifically by your health care provider. These products often cause more problems than they solve, and are sometimes, themselves, the cause of vaginal and vulvar irritation.
