Treat your feet as well as genitalia because men tend to touch their feet to their underwear when getting dressed and it passes back and forth. Wash socks and underwear in hot water with measured Tide and half cup baking soda. You can get Nigella sativa oil pills from Whole foods or Amazon. Take 1 a day with plenty of water.
Avatar f tn WOW!! Thanks grace for the information I needed!!! I learned myself 100% pure oil does sting..but I like to describe it more as "Icy hot"..I noticed TTO does smell..weird but this is the best solution, after 2 days of using it I've seen more improvement then Clotrimazole(and i used that for almost a week, after I washed it off, the redness and discomfort would return). Thanks again grace for the reply and the information!!.

So being that the shampoo I use for my hair and scalp has the teat tee oil in it I used just the tiniest amount of shampoo to wash my lady parts and it actually helped!
Avatar f tn Ive had the same thing going on for a long time - recurring yeast infections - stronger and stronger meds to get rid of it and then it comes right back I've been using tea tree oil - adding it to the monistat inside and out - its definitely feeling better and seems to be getting better...keeping my fingers crossed. You can get good qualify tea tree oil at most vitamin stores...everything I've read says definitely dilute it - don't use it straight from the bottle.
Avatar f tn I had a similar spot in my pubic hair, and was afraid it was something bad, got up the courage to show my doctor, and she told me to try tea tree oil shampoo. I did, and it went away. I know that health food stores sell the melaleuca oil in little bottles. It's great stuff, you can dilute it (a lot!) and use it as a ****** to get rid of yeast infection; my sister swears by it.
Avatar m tn Oregano oil burns the skin, so must be diluted with some almond oil or with tea tree oil like 1 to 4 or 1 to 5 . Tea tree oil is a bit harsh , also must be diluted. Sage oil also is a bit strong, but it's worth putting it in higher concentration than the other ones as it worked wonders.... but it kind of knocks you out... makes you either sleepy either forces you to sit and rest. 3.

Avatar m tn To treat yeast, stop eating sugar and sweets, breads Take probiotic. Take garlic, oregano oil. Bathe with tea tree oil soap. Wash sheets, underwear, socks in hot water with baking soda. Use tea tree oil toothpaste.
Avatar f tn If you want to get extra fancy, you can score the garlic clove and put a drop of tea tree oil on it (This releases more of the garlic juice and helps the oil infuse the garlic). This can burn a little, but tea tree oil is one of the strongest antifungals out there and I find the burning quickly subsides and it burns much less in comparison to the burning itch of yeast infections. Hope these garlic tricks work out for you!
Avatar f tn There are creams and even pills to treat yeast infections now, which is so much better than cottage cheese and tea tree oil (which can be helpful, but also really irritating). Give your doc a call. You've had a lot at once - illness, new sexual activity, new birth control. It's not a wonder that your body is out of whack. Have your doc check you for yeast and see if she thinks anything looks like an STD.
Avatar n tn always file the nail prior to application to allow the medication to penetrate. once the nails look improved, switch over to tea tree oil.
Avatar m tn I don't have good luck with the topical yeast medications. Many of them cause irritation for me. I take oral Diflucan when I get a yeast infection. I use tea tree oil soap in that area to try to turn things around. I'm not sure if it would help with irritation like you are having. You can take Azo-Yeast to help avoid yeast. You might want to go to a healthfood store and see if there are knowledgeable people there who can help you.
Avatar f tn You apply the medication directly to the penis rubbing it in twice a day generally. You can try tree tea oil or coconut oil also. OR you can go to your doctor and get the medication that clears it up systemically. Keep your penis dry. If it doesn't clear up, consider that you may have balantitis. Here is a post from a doctor here if it doesn't clear up: https://www.medhelp.
Avatar n tn Yeast has a sour smell. That means your flora is off. Shower using tea tree oil soap. Don't take tub baths. Avoid eating sugar and grains, which turn to sugar. Take a probiotic daily, which is kept in the refrigerator. Don't get a cheap one. Eat organic vegetables and fruit and yogurt. Use fresh herbs when cooking. Things like garlic and oregano and tea tree oil are nature's cure for yeast (don't take tea tree oil internally).
Avatar f tn So, I have this raging yeast infection.
908392 tn?1316522899 To treat the following external ailments, apply tea tree oil to the affected area.
Avatar n tn I have also tried several homeopathic remedies such as coconut oil and tea tree oil, these have given me the most relief but it is not going away. My husband is deployed and so I am currently abstinent. We both had other partners but they were a year before we got married, I tested negative for STD's and Herpes. I noticed the burning and itching gets worse close to my period, I wash twice a day once with pure olive oil soap and once with just water.
Avatar f tn Since then, things got worse but my yeast infections stopped... in Novembre the extreme fatigue and dizziness started.. then I got blood tests and found out I have hypothyroidism... I've been taking medications for 8 weeks now. Here are my latest results after taking synthroid : TSH : 4,09 mU/L T4 : 14 pmol/L T3 : H 2,5 nmol/L The fatigue and dizziness have stopped most of the time, but my hair is still falling out alarmingly..
Avatar m tn At the same time, i discover that the penis head have outbreak of very small tiny white pimples and itching. Applied coconut oil and Tea tree oil, and the symptom clears after 2 days. It's been almost 2 months now, it seems fine with me now but my wife start having pain at pelvis area when press. Discharge and itching starts getting lesser but not completely cleared. i have went for check up and is awaiting for my result now.
Avatar f tn Have your partner use a condom as yeast can go back and forth. Douse a tampon in tree tea oil and insert. Take a salt bath. And keep regularly taking the probiotics. And if it continues, you need to look into things like having a weakened immune system. Take a good multi vitamin daily. And the other thing to look into is diabetes if this chronic condition continues. Let me know what you think.
Avatar m tn Try 100% tea tree oil. It smells like turpentine but a little goes a long way. It is antibacterial and antifungal. You could also get tea tree oil soap. I've seen some on Amazon for one thing. Avoid sugary drinks and avoiding eating sugar. Wash socks and underwear in hot water with Tide and baking soda. Dry thoroughly. This is for any fungal or yeast component, but it sounds like you have a bacterial thing going on. It's hard to tell by your description.
Avatar m tn Hi ive had really bad problem for last 6 months, Ive been horrific pain in my testicles and penis some kind of horrible thrush and I get terrible yeast infections!! Ive tried tablets and creams just doesn't go away. I have been to my gp and clinic neither can help I reffered to a uroligist who are doing further tests. I am really scared there not going to be able treat or even cure this!! Ive never been so miserable.I think a prostitute has given this to me on purpose.
Avatar n tn Take an internal probiotic once you are done with antibiotics. Natural products that fight yeast are tea tree oil, baking soda, white vinegar. You can use Lotrimin cream. Follow the directions on the tube.
Avatar f tn If your taking about bacterial vaginosis (BV) then usually oral medication is metronidazole (Flagyl) or Clindamycin. Vaglinal gels metro-gel, cleocin, clindasee(spelling?
Avatar f tn Also my scalp have been particularly itching since last year. Once again, I’ve tried a lot. Head and shoulders at first and then organic shampoo, tea tree oil, apple vinegar, coconut oil, castor oil, almond oil..
Avatar f tn It's interesting to read what you said about tea-tree oil, because the population interested in drinking kefir for its natural benefits might well be the same population that would use tea tree oil topically, and if someone doesn't know the oil could cause these problems, it would be easy to think they came from the kefir. Luckily, it's not hard to eliminate one or the other to see if there is a change.
Avatar f tn Thanks for the responses! Is there any recommendations to stop the itching? I've been reading about coconut oil, lemon balm salve and tea tree oil. Has anyone used those before?
Avatar n tn t have relief from that, try making your own drops from witch hazel and tea tree oil and putting some drops in your ear twice a day. Tea tree cleans up bacteria and fungal infections.
Avatar m tn I took no notice of it but a few days later I had some discomfort and I noticed I had a red rash. I diagnosed myself with jock itch and went and got some tea tree oil. It eventually cleared up the rash on my inner thighs. BUT on scrotum became "hard" like it lost its elastic property, so I applied tea tree oil to that. It burned like hell, but then again when I applied it to the jock it is did as well so I thought its killing the fungi.
