Please go see your doctor before you take anything. I thought I had a yeast infection and went and got something from walgreens and it helped with the iching for as long as I was using it but two day after the pain and itching came back even worse. I went to the dr and it turns out I have a bacterial infection and the creams that work on yeast would not have done a thing for me.

Be very careful with Diflucan. It is VERY STRONG. Over-the-counter yeast infection meds have always done the trick for me. When my doctor prescribed Diflucan, the yeast-bacteria balance in my body got majorly screwed up and I got a urinary tract infection!!!

Yes, and god bless the scientist who came up with a 24 hr non-messy cure! No problems whatsoever. Good luck!

I have to agree with Helena. Make SURE it's a yeast infection before you treat it. If you've had them frequently in the past, you can recognize it, but if you've never had one, or had one only once or twice, it would be a good idea to confirm with your OB/GYN.
