Also, make sure the undies he is wearing are rinsed well, or if you have switched detergents/body soap recently. I have to use ALL Free on my boys and on myself as we all have eczema. I too am not a HUGE fan of A&D ointment, I mainly use it on the kids for chapped lips.
Avatar f tn Do you know what you are having? (Boy or girl) i heard you only get yeast infections with boys but i can be terribly wrong.
Avatar n tn Hi, My son gets this very often and has since he was little. I took him to a gastrologist and he said he has yeast overgrowth. Very common in boys. We haven't gotten rid of it completely some kids always have it. What has worked for me is keeping his diet low in products containing yeast and high in good yeast, like yogurt or go to herb store and buy capsules of it to put in his food. Adding the good yeast helps get rid of the bad yeast.
Avatar f tn It could be toilet paper that got stuck from the last time you wiped, or a for of discharge that usually accompanies a very bad yeast infection. Id call your ob and make an appointment hon.
Avatar f tn ) Not really necessary and likely not what you are even seeing. It does sound like a yeast infection. They sell over the counter medication for this -- little eggs that you follow directions and place in the vagina at night when you go to bed and this releases the medicine. Takes a few days. But since you've never been diagnosed with a yeast infection, doctors recommend seeing them for diagnosis (they swab it) the first time and treatment. They make a pill you take for it too.
Avatar f tn I now have a yeast infection after I just gotten over a urine infection.. My doctor told me to get the 7day treatmeant of monistat. But im just woundering if me & my boyfriend have sex could he get the yeast infection also?
Avatar f tn OK so i know it's a little tmi but my area down below is swollen and it itches but it doesn't feel like a yeast infection. It feels like it's dried out or something. This has happened a couple times but I've never mentioned it to my obgyn cuz it goes away after a couple days. Is there anything i can use????
Avatar f tn What is ok to take for a yeast infection? I don't go to the Dr. Til Tuesday. I heard the one time fluconazole pill cause birth defects. Don't know how true it is just wanna be safe. Or should I try monistat 7. Im scared to take any kind of pills while pregnant I don't even take Tylenol I use home remedies. Im a ftm & curious.
Avatar n tn If anyone out there reads this and has something similar, I went to the doctors today and she said it was a yeast infection and sometimes little tears are associated with yeast infections. So no need to worry. (it might have been made worse by sex, but I dont think that was the main cause).
Avatar f tn I'm 25 weeks pregnant. I've had a couple bacterial infections and recently I've noticed some little white bumps in the vaginal area. I was wondering if this could be from the bacterial infection? Or if it could be from a yeast infection? I have an appointment tomorrow but it's really worrying me and I was just looking for some answers.
Avatar f tn My doctor prescribed me one little pill that cleared it up in 24 hours.
Avatar f tn I have had yeast infections with both of my boys...not yet with this pregnancy but I actually just drank cranberry juice to kill it I didn't use any vaginal cream so that may work NorthLand cranberry juice works best for me it doesn't have much sugar.
Avatar f tn so at the end of June-beginning of July, I was taking antibiotics (cefadroxil) for a skin infection I had in my legs. The antibiotics caused me to have a yeast infection which I treated with vagisil. I stopped taking the antibiotics when this started, but the skin infection flared up again so I had to continue taking it. The yeast infection came back again but since I was away on vacation, I couldn't treat it. It went away on its own, or so it seemed.
Avatar f tn ( i wash my underwear in hot water with little to no soap and dry in direct sunlight and unless i need to i wear no underwear to let it air out. any other tips ?
Avatar f tn I never had a yeast infection in my life until this pregnancy. Ive had at least 9 yeast infections in a matter of 9 1/2 months. Can't wait until its over I cannot take it anymore. Tell your doc at your next appointment. He'll prescribe you either cream or a 1 day pill. I wouldn't try OTC because it may not be safe for you little one.
Avatar f tn I think I have a yeast infection but since it's Friday evening now my doctors office is closed. Is there anything I can do to relieve the symptoms a little until I can call my OB on Monday? If it makes a difference I'm 34 weeks pregnant.
Avatar f tn ve been struggling a yeast infection since early mar. I was on amoxcillin-clav in march ever since had a yeast infection . Tried most creams ,and had a dyflican in fact had three no not at once one s week ,and it helped for a little ,but came back fell blown again could it have been I had a allergic reaction have not had a yeast infection for about 7 yrs.I don't have diabetes or HIV it's like it is hybernating.
Avatar f tn Well during that entire time I was stressing a lot and I have bad anxiety. Which I assume is what triggered my yeast infection. I have whitish discharge and also I noticed redness and I noticed a small white patch with a lot of little white dots and it looks a little swollen. My question is does yeast infections cause that? If this had ever happened to anyone please tell me. My anxiety is off the charts after all I've been through this month.
Avatar f tn It's confirmed that I have a yeast infection, so I went to Walgreens and bought Monistat 1 a (one day treatment) its the one with the ovule insert. I'm 32 weeks pregnant and I'm kind of nervous to use this product I have many questions like will it work?, can it harm my baby?
Avatar f tn Recently I came down with an upper respiratory infection and the doctor prescribed me a penicillin to clear it up. I told the doctor that I had a yeast infection the last time I took an antibiotic. I purchased a probiotic but didnt take it till after the 3rd day of medication and the damage was done already. I got a yeast infection and I have had one before due to antibiotics so I knew what it was.
Avatar n tn Again, just redness and irritation. Treated again for a yeast infection and symptoms got a little better but never went away until this week...the symptoms are a lot better but still there a little bit. I finally saw my doctor again yesterday for my yearly check up. Told her everything and she looked at what I was talking about but said it all looked normal to her. She said it looked a little "dry" but saw nothing to cause any alarm.
1391959 tn?1280439862 Your doctor might be able to give you something else, because like you said Yeast Infections ARE common in pregnancy so there has to be something... Your doctor or local pharmasist can tell you SO much more.. and hopefully give you something to help.
Avatar m tn you could have a yeast infecton(yes boys can get them, especially if unsnipped) or other type of bacterial infection not sex related. Or if ur having sex w/o proper use of a condom, you could have contracted an std. When it comes to concerns of ur sexual health, DO NOT BE AFRAID OF UR FAMILY DR or family planning, they have teen clinics for boys! If some std's or infections are not treated you are risking intesified syptoms and infertility.
