I used Monistat 3 for 2 days; it started burning the second time I used it. It cleared up with me soaking in Baking Soda. Shortly after, another breakout came when I took a shower and used a red washcloth which has a lot of dye in it. That's clearing up to; however, since then I've been having a discharge that's more than usual. It doesn't smell; however, I do want to know what's causing it. Is the cream from Monistat 3 coming out, or the baking soda or what? >Also, I'm in college now, and I can't soak in the bathtub. Is it alright I just put some baking soda on the outside vagina, let it sit for a while then rinse it off? Since you haven't been very successful in treating the problem with over-the-counter remedies, I would suggest that you see your health care provider (perhaps your college or college town have a clinic?) for a definite diagnosis before attempting further treatment. The over-the-counter remedies are great for those who are sure of their diagnosis, but I'm not certain that you fall into that category. Good luck!
