Diflucan will cur it, however if not you might try mycostatin.The yest usually causes scanty discharge(discribed as cottage-chees like)and more itching.check your blood sugar as yest infection is common in diabetics beside diabetic vulva usually give the same picture of yours i.e redness, burning..etc.
