how to treat persistent yeast infection

I seem to have problems with recurrent yeast infections- the yeast isn't as abundant as it used to be, but there has definitely been clumpy discharge stuck to some of the hairs down there outside my vagina when I check when I get home from work. I have a burning feeling after I pee and the skin around my vaginal opening looks reddish and feels rough (almost grainy) to the touch. I was reading this book called "The Yeast Connection Handbook", and think I have recurring yeast problems because of all of the antiobiotics I have taken over the last few months (Penicillin, bactrim, augmentin, cipro (which I was allergic to), macrobid and flagyl. I tried this nystatin trichlinone cream my doc gave me and also Lotrisone, but they didn't seem to help too much so I am using Vitamin E oil and neosporin and it feels slightly better. I also took diflucan last night. Is there anything I can do to end the cycle of infections? I hate having that burning feeling in my crotch- it makes me not want to do anything. The book said an overgrowth of candida and repeated infections can also affect your immune system and cause you to be fatigued and depressed.

Please help. Thanks to you all!
